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.

Number of component occurrences transferred to the individual component iProperty

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

1. In the main assembly, enter the value for the Project iProperty. The value should (must) be unique for different projects.

   

   Project iProperty value in the main assembly
2. 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.

3. 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

1. Run the command.

2. Confirm the message to push the quantities from the main assembly BOM to the child components.
