Hello
I have a rather complex ASM and the PB is I have to make an assembly manual.
Now, if I do a MEP, how can I make a subset considered as an object that I can identify in the nomenclature?
In the screenshot, the part that is in yellow is a sub-asm that articulates with a good bunch of other S/S ASM, or even individual parts that are not part of an S/S asm (typically axes).
Until now it was my subcontractor who managed it from the ASM but he has disappeared
Kind regards
Not sure I understand...
Is it a subset that you want to consider in your BOM without its components?
→ right-click on the config, the configuration property, and for Display child components when used as a subassembly, choose Hide.
Hello
I guess your assembly instructions will be made in word or excel.
What you would like to do is show all the assembly steps with an associated nomenclature and make screenshots to integrate them into your word pages. + a list of the necessary tools + lifting means etc...
In fact, it's methodical work.
I would proceed sub-assembly by sub-assembly and the final assembly will be the assembly of all your sub-assemblies + axles and bolts, or something like that.
For this you have at your disposal in SW:
Good luck
Hello
MEP BOM
Raised to the first level
As @Silver_Surfer I'll put the assembly configuration in cache mode. Or promote if you want to reassemble the parts of an assembly. These two settings apply differently to each configuration
And I will create several configurations or I will drive the different steps
Configuration
Step 01
Step 02
Etc...
You also have the possibility to control the configurations in the nomenclature to arrange yourself according to your needs
Combining or unlinking configurations and much more...
Quite a mechanically welded 
system, I will be curious to know what it represents
Good luck
