Indicating that some parts in a part studio don't change with configurations so BOM is correct?

Hi Everyone,

Let's say I have a part studio that has two parts in it, a disc, and an enclosure for the disc. The disc is always the same size, but the enclosure size is parameterized. When I generate a bunch of this part studio in an assembly with different configurations, the BOM counts each disc separately for each configuration of the part studio even though they're all the same. I get a BOM like this:

  1. Disc (1)
  2. Enclosure (1)
  3. Disc (1)
  4. Enclosure (1)
  5. Disc (1)
  6. Enclosure (1)

When what I want is:

  1. Disc (3)
  2. Enclosure (1)
  3. Enclosure (1)
  4. Enclosure (1)

I now know that if I make the disc in a separate part studio that isn't parameterized, that will fix things, but I'm not sure if there's a relatively easy way of breaking that out at this point, since the disc and the enclosure share a lot of sketch constraints.

I see that I can mark some parameters as not indicating the part studio is different in a BOM, but I want something similar for a part within a part studio.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

    1. If the disc doesn't change, keep it in its own Part Studio -OR-
    2. Do not insert the Part Studio into the assembly, but insert each part seperately then you can set the disc to one config and the cover to another and the BOM will be right.

    Thanks Neil! I'll try #2 while I work on moving the disc out to its own part studio (option 1 you suggested).
