Part Section

The [PART] section of the bom-settings.ini file defines settings for the part filter and part form.

This page discusses:

Part Filter Settings

Display Name Attribute Name Description Allowed Values
Enable Ignore EDA Parts PartIgnoreEDAPart Users can ignore parts coming in from the EDA BOM extraction process by defining regular expressions that can be defined to ignore part entries like Testpoints, DNI Parts, and so on, that are required in the CAD Design itself but have no meaningful representation in the PLM side.

  • true
  • false

Default: true
Regular Expression PartIgnoreEDAPartRegExp Semicolon-separated regular expressions used when the above attribute is set to true.

For example, this regular expression partNo=^OA.*$;partNo=^TESTP.*$;partNo=^IGNORE.*$ indicates that all parts starting with OA, TESTP and IGNORE will be ignored for BOM creation.

You can use these attributes as part of the regular expression:

Value Description
partNo Part number
refDes Reference designator
quantity Quantity

Default: partNo=^TP.*$;partNo=^TESTP.*$;partNo=^IGNORE.*$

Part Form Settings

Display Name Attribute Name Description Allowed Values
Part Creation PartCreationForm Defines the form used to create missing parts in 3DEXPERIENCE. Default: ECAD-AD-Part-AutoCreateForm
Part Existence check PartExistenceCheck Defines the form used to check the existence of the parts in 3DEXPERIENCE. For example, if the users specifies the state of the part and selects Latest Released Revision, the form checks for all assembly parts with the latest revision in the released state. Default: ECAD-Part-FindLatestReleasedOrLatestRev
- PartExistenceCheckKnownRev If the revision of the Part is known, the existence check is carried out for the exact Type, Name and Revision. Default: PartExistenceCheckKnownRev
EBOM Relationship PartSpecRelationship Defines the form used to create a relationship between parts, that is, create an EBOM connection between the component and its parent component. Default: ECAD-BOM-RelationshipForm
