Engineering BOM Management ─ Deployment and Administration

Configure the automatic generation of appearance product breakdown and appearance areas

You can configure the color BOM so that the appearance product breakdown and appearance areas are generated automatically when assigning color codes for a less finish part in a theme.

Procedure

  1. From Launcher, click Preferences.

    If this option is unavailable, search for it. You can pin it from the search results for future access.

  2. Search for and open the Cb0AutoCreateAppearanceAreas preference, and then set the value for the preference to true.

    Note: If this preference is set to false, the user must create the appearance product breakdown and appearance areas before assigning color codes in a theme.
