What determines the Item number in the BOM?

[dlaery]

can that be changed?
I am trying to come up with an order of assembly for someone to follow to put the assembly togeather or a set of directions.

Yes, you can drag rows within BoM to change order, then I think it button is called resequence, or reorder (I'm away from my system at the moment).

ok resequence does the trick after I drag to sort the way I want.
now I havd a 3 parts that are not in my list
"14-20 Steel Nylon-Insert Locknut"
That seem odd

For those sub-assembly files you need to check the 'treat as part in BoM' option in the file properties

my exploded view drawing is wrong with the BOM. the "call out" is what it wrong. before today I resequenced my BOM and saved. I reprojected my exploded view drawing.
my BOM and Exploded view drawing are not the same. ithey are off by 1 part, meaning part 6 should be part 7 and so on. I have checked to see if I am using the same BOM . I have my BOM in my exploded drawing and it shows the same error. how do I edit a "Callout"?

 

[DavidJ]

Typically it's best to delete and re-create the callout. You can manually override, but then you have to remember to edit in future.

May be a peculiarity of exploded views - they don't update in the same way as other views after editing the assembly (from what I recall).

Thanks! I figured out how to delete them and re-create.
