When teaching the Autodesk Inventor: Creating Frames Open Doors class, one of the most common questions asked by students is: How do I populate the Parts List and Material List to combine like frame members and total lengths?
In this tutorial, I will walk you through an example. Keep in mind that many companies have their own standards, as far as what properties are used within the Parts List and Material List. I will show the main properties that are needed to accomplish this task.
In the following picture, I have created a frame using standard square tubing and c-channel. Create or use an existing frame by following this step-by-step procedure:
- Click on Bill of Materials in the Assembly panel or from the Tools drop-down menu.
- Enable the Structured tab in the BOM dialog box.
- Left-click the first row that lists the first frame member, hold Shift button down, select the last frame member, click the last member list, and click Create Expression.
- In the Property Expression field, delete the current text, enter the following expression: =<Stock Number>-<G_L>
- This expression is created in order to achieve the member's stock number and length value.
- Click Renumber Items to renumber the new part numbers.
- Click Done to close the Bill of Materials dialog box.
- Open any frame member, go to File / iProperties / Project Tab / Review for the newly created function.
