Parts that were stored in a connection definition point, and were written from there to the connections during the generation of a connection list, can also be accounted for in the Bill of materials - <Project name> dialog.
Precondition:
You have opened a project.
- Select the following commands: Tab Devices > Command group Devices > Bill of materials.
- In the Bill of materials - <Project name> dialog, select the Settings popup menu item.
- In the Settings: Parts dialog, select the Connection part check box in the Include parts group box.
- Click [OK].
The connection parts are displayed in the bill of materials.
Notes:
- If a part is stored in a connection definition point though which more than one connection runs, this part will be written to each of those connections. The part quantity can in this case only be obtained through a connection list report.
- If, on the other hand, a connection runs through more than one connection definition point, and each of these connection definition points has the same part definition, then the part appears only once.
- It is therefore necessary to generate a connection list for parts at connections in order to determine the actual number of units. (Tab Tools > Command group Reports > Generate. In the subsequent dialog select the Connection list report type.)
