Push Qty
Command Description
This command pushes the BOM quantities from the main assembly to the underlying components (parts and assemblies). Quantities are stored in a custom iProperty. Therefore the components themselves can contain information about the number of its occurrences in different parent (main) assemblies.
Command Location
Assembly environment (
Be.Smart T4I -> BOM panel
).
Command Settings
As the Push Qty command modifies the iProperties of individual components that may be present in different main assemblies (projects), it is necessary to have this command properly configured.
The best recommended settings
In the main assembly, enter the value for the Project iProperty. The value should (must) be unique for different projects.
In Be.Smart
Be.Smart T4I ribbon -> Be.Smart T4I -> Edit settings -> Quantities -> Push
verify the Add Design Tracking 'Project' iProperty from the MAIN assembly as a prefix is checked and enter a value for the Property name field.The resulting iProperty name containing the quantity will be composed of the Project iProperty and the Property name, e.g. BOMtools-Qty.
It is recommended to always use the Project iProperty of the main assembly and a special Property name defined in Be.Smart T4I settings.
Not recommended settings
Any combination of settings other than those listed above can lead to confusion about the number of component occurrences in parent assemblies (if checked through the component iProperties).
Workflow Overview
Run the command.
Confirm the message to push the quantities from the main assembly BOM to the child components.
