Design BOM Panel

This window shows the structure of the extracted BOM based on the selection in the Design Panel.

The hyperlink on the CAD object functions the same way as Explore in 3DExperience.

Client Connector extracts all the components from the design and variant. The structure shows the Assembly as the root node under which all the other components are connected. The table contains information for each component. Various font formats and color codes are used to explain more about the extracted nodes. The structure field in the table shows the structure of the extracted BOM.

Formatting Style Description
Bold black Marked as a mandatory entry (Assembly Node)
Red Component needs to be assigned to a part in 3DEXPERIENCE
Regular black Component is assigned to a part in 3DEXPERIENCE
Option Description
Enable Component Only for materials.
Disable Component Only for materials.
Assign 3DEXPERIENCE Part Only for materials.
Add Existing From 3DEXPERIENCE Only for assembly.
Remove Selected For added materials.
Remove All Imported Only for added materials.
Import External Partlist Only for assembly.
Option Description
Import External Partlist You can manually import components to be used for BOM creation.

The import of External Parts will only be allowed on assembly or subassembly-based nodes. Parts from external systems like MCAD Tools or any other applications can be imported to the BOM Editor by loading a predefined textual list of parts. The format of the text file to be imported is defined by the usage of various importers.

A CSV Importer is available, which allows importing parts based on CSV files. It is impossible to select a standard part as the new parent of the imported parts. The Import External Partlist menu entry displays the configured mapping files from the External PartlistPreferences.

Enable Component This menu is visible when the Allow Disabling of EDA Parts option in the BOM Preferences is defined as True. Enabling a node makes the component eligible for BOM creation.
Disable Component This menu is visible when the Allow Disabling of EDA Parts option in the BOM Preferences is defined as True.

Disabling a node ignores the selected node for BOM creation.

Assign 3DEXPERIENCE Part This menu is used to assign a part from3DEXPERIENCE to the selected ECAD component. A part search dialog is opened when you select this menu. For more information, see Searching for Parts.
Explore in 3DEXPERIENCE You can explore a part in 3DEXPERIENCE. When this menu is selected, the Client Connector opens 3DEXPERIENCE and requests your login credentials. After login is complete, the part is displayed in the 3DEXPERIENCE browser.
Add Existing From 3DEXPERIENCE This menu adds the already existing parts from 3DEXPERIENCE. Parts could be added only to an Assembly. This menu opens up the search dialog to search for the parts in 3DEXPERIENCE. For more information, see Searching for Parts.
Remove Selected This menu is used to remove a part from the extracted components. Only user added parts could be removed. Trying to remove an EDA part results in a warning message.
Remove All Imported This menu is used to remove all the components, which the user has imported using theImport External Partlist menu.
