Within Inventor, quantity can be shown in different ways. And not only on one component, but multiple components as well. Using the BOM can be a very efficient method of modifying iProperty information quickly. Not only can the iProperty information be viewed from the BOM, but also be edited. What are iProperties? The metadata describing each component, like the description and part number. The assembly stores some BOM information (quantities) but the majority is controlled via iProperties. Quantities on the bill of materials are updated when a part is added or removed from the assembly.” It starts with iPropertiesĪs the Inventor Bills of Materials is a listing of the components contained within the assembly. The table includes quantities, names, costs, vendors, or any other information someone building the assembly needs. The Autodesk help describes the bill of materials as “ a table that contains information about the parts within an assembly. In our continued dive into bills of materials, today I dive deep into the Inventor Bills of Materials (BOM).
