Deleting BOM

Deleting whole BOM

To delete a BOM, use the command "BX: Delete Bill of Materials":

 

 

 

If several BOMs exist in the document, the system offers selecting the BOM to delete from the list.

When deleting a BOM, only the textual table of the BOM is actually deleted. The fragment title block stays in the drawing and needs to be deleted separately.

 

Deleting empty BOM pages

When working with BOMs and assemblies, it is often the case that, as the number of records in a multipage BOM is reduced, one or more BOM pages become empty, that is, do not contain any records. In this case, a dialog box will query the user for the further system action.

Select one of the following options:

Leave. The system does nothing. Empty BOM pages are left as is.

Delete only Rectangles. The system automatically delete empty rectangles (without BOM text). The document page, one which box was located, and the fragment title block remain and can be deleted manually.

Delete Pages. Empty BOM text boxes are deleted, as well as their respective fragment title block and the document page, on which those were located.        

 

The additional flags in the group "Do not ask in future" allow setting the selected mode for the rest of time working with this BOM or for the rest of the current T-FLEX CAD session.
