. You can also ensure an accurate count of item quantities as you add or remove
objects in an assembly drawing.
This lesson describes the role of part references for objects and how they relate to a bill of
materials (BOM) in an assembly drawing. It also shows you how to create and edit a bill of
materials (BOM), and to add a part list and balloons to a drawing.
Create Part References
In this lesson, you identify and itemize each part or component with attributes
in the part reference.
All standard parts including screws, nuts, steel shapes, and others have part
references automatically generated from the manufacturer catalogs. See the
following illustration. Notice the representation of nodes used for standard parts
is different from the designed components as shown previously.
