Solidworks unique bubble mark (one mark per part; even if identical part)

@dbz Indeed! This is an avenue to explore: the occurrences of the piece, but how to extract them... Complicated...

I think the solution to your problem is to create configues of your parts

therefore elbows 1; elbows 2; elbows 3; etc....

It's up to you to change your elbows once you put it in your assembly if you work via an assembly

(a bit boring I readily admit)

That way they won't be the same parts anymore and you'll have a line per part in your nomenclature

and a nomenclature has been extended ;-(

@+ ;-)

Hi all

I think your problem can't be solved by automatic controls.

I think that the procedure to follow is: 

- Automatic bubble insertion on all parts.

-a macro  that takes each identical bubble is incremented the value of an index.

so you will have parts 2.1, 2.2, ... 2.x, with a single BOM reference.

It seems to me that we don't have access to this kind of setting in the "BOMs of an ASM".

Apart from going through a manual bubbling (it's average, especially if there are likely to be people).

For me, the simplest solution and one that could be better is the same as gt22

(without the need to go through macros or others...)

 

1. For each part, check the settings in the config ("remove functions" must be unchecked)

2. For each part, create configs that will be used for each desired occurrence.

3. In the ASM choose the configs of the corresponding parts (each occurrence must call a unique config)

4. In the BOM, in the grouping options enable the checkmark, and set to "mode 1"

(but be careful, this setting may be contradictory if the library is in config)
