Morning all,
I am making a wire harness and the asm drawing for it as well. The drawing has a few different configurations which have their own exploded views. There is a BOM table associated with this drawing which calls out the plastic plug, the pins for the plug, heatshrink, the TWISTED pairs of wires, and a couple of small pcbs. The reason for the caps on twisted was because there are 4 twisted pairs. Five different colors of wires. Four black wires(GND) and four other colors that are each twisted with a single black wire. Each color has its own part number.
I made the 4 twisted pairs as a single part using the sweep with twist along path option. Now I see that I cannot break the BOM table from the twisted pair part so as the balloons do not follow what I type into the table. Is there a way to separate the features in the twisted pair part into separate parts giving them their own part numbers so they show up on the BOM as individual part #'s? Or easier, how do I break the associativity between the BOM table and the draw3ing view?
Thanks
Sid
