Generate an aligned design structure from an engineering BOM

Procedure

1. Set an active change, if required.

2. Open the BOM for which you want to generate an aligned design structure.

3. In the structure, you can choose the part occurrences for which you want to generate the corresponding design occurrences. Set the Design Required field to False for the part occurrences for which you do not want to generate design occurrences.

4. Click Align > Create Design BOM.

   A design structure along with the corresponding alignment is automatically generated, and the aligned designs are listed in Aligned Designs.

Results

A report is generated in the Newstuff > BOMGeneration folder. You can go through the contents of the report to troubleshoot any BOM creation and alignment issues. You can also perform an alignment check to verify if the design occurrences and part occurrences are aligned correctly. In addition, you can perform a visual compare of the BOM and the generated design structure in Details > 3D.
