To reorder the groups in a BOM, use the BOM properties dialog box and its tab “Groups”. To save the
database under a different name, use the button [Save As…].
BOM Properties
While in the BOM editing mode, the properties dialog box of the BOM being edited can be called using the
option:
BOM properties
This option is located on the main toolbar (button set “BOM”).
The BOM properties dialog box can also be called by different means. For example, it can be accessed from
the dialog box of the command "BM: Bills of Materials". Alternatively, in the command – waiting mode,
move the pointer over one of the current BOM records and right click , and then in the coming up context
menu select the item “BOM Properties”. If this item is not available in the context menu, then first select
the element “BOM” by using the item “Other”.
As the result of all these steps, the dialog box “BOM Properties” will appear on the screen. The dialog title
bar will be displaying the name of the BOM that owns the properties.
“BOM” Tab
Merge Records. Allows merging BOM lines with identical records.
Example: suppose, the same fragment is inserted into assembly several times. In this case, the data are
compared, and since there is no difference, the records of these fragments are merged in one row, as
directed by the flag.
