I need to create a series of exploded views and service parts lists for various products.

Each product is in the product management repository, as an assembly.

A new 'service' assembly for each product has been created from the product's assembly.

I need to create exploded views and then parts lists from each service assembly.

I am learning how to create and edit exploded views, and am creating/using display states to hide stuff that I don't want in an exploded view.

But, it doesn't seem that I can exclude items from the BOM - and it would be preferable to not have stuff that you can't buy or replace listed in the BOM/parts list.

So, any clues or avenues of learning will be welcome.

Thanks!

Jay
