You can use the Parts List command and options in the Parts List Properties dialog box to define and place an exploded parts list on an assembly drawing.

Use the General page (or the Parts List command bar) to:

• Select the default Solid Edge Exploded parts list style from the Saved Settings list.

• Define a custom exploded parts list style.

Use the Options page to:

• Show the item numbers that were created in the assembly.

  Using item numbers from the model ensures the parts list item numbers do not change unless the model does. Otherwise, item numbers are generated on-the-fly by the Parts List command.

  Note:

  You can use the assembly model item numbers when the Maintain item numbers check box is selected in the assembly document on the Item Numbers page, Solid Edge Options dialog box. To learn more, see Help topic Item numbers in assemblies.

Use the List Control page to:

• Display subassemblies and subassembly parts in an exploded parts list.

• Choose the item numbering format:

  • Level based item numbers, which indicate the hierarchy of an exploded parts list.

  • Flat list item numbers.

• Show the top level assembly in a row by itself.

Use the Columns page to:

• Select and format the Item Number data column.

• Select additional data columns--Mass (Item), Mass (Quantity), Miter Cut 1, and Miter Cut 2--when generating parts lists for assembly models containing frames, pipes, or tubes.

• Indent the item numbers or the content of any column.

Use the Sorting page to:

• Sort the item numbers in the same order that they are shown in Assembly PathFinder.

  Note:

  Unless the assembly has been saved in V17 or later, the parts list order may not match the Assembly PathFinder order.
