Repeated component bubble that do not match

Hello

Maybe long after solving a problem I face a new one.

 

To summarize the situation:

I make a MEP of a general assembly and on other sheets the MEP of the subassemblies. I'd like to bubble the sub-assemblies with the article numbers of the general assembly (1.1 if it's the first part of the first sub-assembly or 3.8 if it's the 8th part of the 3rd sub-assembly etc.). So I managed to do this step.

Now the problem is that part A can be found in several subassemblies (for example in  the 2, 3 and 5). And when I bubble part A in subassembly 3, rather than taking its article number corresponding to subassembly 3 (3.4), it takes the first article number encountered in the nomenclature (2.6).

 

Do you know how to fix this?

 

Thanks in advance

Hello

If you are mechanically welding, you can select the properties from the list of welded parts that you will have previously filled in and therefore your part number that is suitable, otherwise you can go through the custom properties and select the properties of the part, see my attached image.

No, it's a classic assembly and sub-assembly of parts.

Hello, honestly I don't understand, you have the same piece twice, why put a different number? On the contrary, I find that Solidworks does the bubble correctly!

Well, that's just my opinion!! :)

Kind regards

Personally I don't pass the part number bubble and not the item bubble imposed by sw, maybe that's why I'm not bothered.

Yes but I have the same part several times but in different sub-assemblies.

This is an example of nomenclature. (the first digit is the number of the subassembly)

What bothers me is that when I bubble the bridle for example it always puts me the number 3.15 and that whether I'm in assembly 3, 5 or 6... I would like to see for the flange in assembly 3 number 3.15, in assembly 5 number 5.3, in assembly 6 number 6.2 etc.

Did you understand my problem better?

G. is right. A piece should only have a unique number.

 

Otherwise, open the assembly where the second part is located (taking care to close the head assembly and all the others), open the part and save it under a new name.

Apart from VSPEMENS, I don't see any other solution.

As @Spemens, you can manage your numbering well if you put a personal property like "Part Number" and you number the rooms yourself.

For the bubble, you must of course use this "Part No." property

Alternatively, using the default item numbers, this can also be handled by introducing a bill of materials directly into the assembly and changing the position order of the parts

And this nomenclature made in the assembly can of course be found in the drawing.

Thank you very much@Florian

Hello

Was it really me who gave the right answer?!
