Generate an aligned design structure through a workflow

Procedure

1. Set an active change, if required.

2. Open the BOM for which you want to generate the corresponding 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 More Commands > Manage > Submit to Workflow on the primary toolbar.

5. In the Submit to Workflow panel:

   • Click All.
   • Select Template as Generate Design BOM and click Submit.

   A design structure is automatically generated for the selected BOM, and the parts and designs are aligned. The aligned designs are listed in the Aligned Designs field.

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. You can also perform a visual compare of the BOM and the generated design structure in Details > 3D.
