Announcement

You have an assembly containing several sub-assemblies. You would like to create a drawing of one of the sub-assemblies with a parts list for that sub-assembly.
To show how to accomplish this I will use an assembly of a CNC router table and I would like to isolate the stand under the table so I can get a parts list and build it separately.Dave1
First, I will create a View Representation of the STAND.Dave2
In my drawing, I will use this View Representation (STAND) to create the drawing view.Dave3
Note the check mark in the illustration below.Dave4
When checked, the drawing will be associative to the model and stay up to date with any changes. Leave this unchecked if you want to isolate this view from any further updates.
Place your views as needed.

When you are to place a parts list in the drawing, you will place the full assembly parts list first then edit the list.Dave6
Select the parts list and right click. Select Edit Parts List from the menu.
Select the Filter icon. Next, I am going to select the Assembly View Representation from the list. I then select my STAND View Representation from the list.Dave7

Before you leave the Part List editor, you have the option, if needed, to Renumber Items then Override to BOM. In most cases this will not be needed. Select OK to finish.Dave11
The parts list will now contain only the parts shown in this View Representation.Dave12
Till Later,
