Adding A Bill of Materials Using Assembly Manager
Loading the File
Lets begin by opening the starter file required for this tutorial.
VISI Mould - Creating Mould Tool Documentation
Select the File | Open command and select tool-complete-plots.wkf
Now that we have created some 2D drawings form the 3D mould tool assembly, the final
task is to generate the Bill Of Materials using Assembly Manager. The following exercises
will show us how: -
For this task we will plan in advance how we want to organise our bill of materials. For this
particular mould tool we will divide the components in to logical families / groups of parts.
The following example shows the families we require and the order they should appear in
the list: -
Mould Base - Bolster Plates, Bushes, Pillars
Inserts - Any non-standard machined inserts
Lifters - Lifter Heads and Ancillaries
Sliders - Slides, Heals, Wear Plates, Rails etc.
Injection / Ejection - Ejection Pins, Ejector guides, Sprue Bush etc
Cooling - Hose connectors, Plugs, ‘O’ Rings etc
Screws - Screw Fixings
Now we have decided how to break down the B.O.M lets begin the process in VISI using
the assembly manager. This can be started from the Annotation Menu clicking on the
Assembly Manager Item.
The Assembly Manager Panel will appear
on the right hand side, containing the list of
parts and properties.
If you expand one of the Cap Head Screw
Sums you can see the items beneath just
show a list of “Cap Head Screws”.
