Forced BOM

2D plans Labelling system

Hello
2 questions about the nomenclatures:

  1. Why when we force a designation the line should normally appear in yellow to signal that it is forced but not on all. see image
    nomenclature forcée

  2. If we force a designation of a part in the nomenclature, this info is stored or?
    In 3D or in 2D file?
    Because it does not impact all the other 2D planes using this part but that some.

Thank you in advance.

Bruno.

Hello

Anything that is forced (broken link) is only valid for the open file. It doesn't impact the other models.
If everything is not in yellow, maybe a bug (forcing the nomenclature number for example personally shocks me) or simply not forced and therefore mapped

As @Cyril.f says, it all depends on your response to the following message:

Keep link => The Designation is changed in the 3D
Break Link => The Designation is now just text stored in the plan nomenclature.

On my Solidworks (2022 sp4): Only changing the Item Number (balloon) changes the cell to Yellow, even if it is sometimes necessary to hover over this cell to see the color change.
