In Report Definition a various report combinations, based on various type of attributes can be configured easily, but each of these reports won't have sequential Components numbering system in BOM.In this Wiki article you will find possible suggestions How to Generate Reports based on Size with Sequential Numbering system.
When Isometrics is generated each component is assigned with its unique PARTID number. PARTID property is a common components grouping and sorting property, which is used in Bill Of Material and PARTID assignment order can be configured in rep_sortgroups.txt file.
REPORT = SHP# this to include only shop material INCLUDE = IE_FIELD=0 INCLUDE = IE_FIELD=1 EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_WELD
COLUMN = 2: L : PARTID COLUMN = 8: C : QUANTITY COLUMN = 11: C : SIZE COLUMN = 6: C : RATING + SCHEDULE COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT
GROUP = PARTID SORT = PARTID:N SEP = @ SORTHEADERS = 1
#TEXT = @ ---------------------------------------------------------- #TEXT = @ Shop Materials #TEXT = @ ---------------------------------------------------------- Write = NODE = 60ENDUsing these steps we have prepared a report in which all components can be sorted between OWNER and CONTRACTOR groups. Don't forget to comment your FIELD and Combi reports.
Now open rep_sortgroup.txt file and in the beginning of this file, add additional SORTGROUPs, in order to sort components by setting RULEs based on size. In this example I have added a OWNER Group with rules to sort 8 and above 8 inches Size components and the CONTRACTOR group in order to sort the rest.SORTGROUP = OWNER HEADER = @ ------------------------------------------ HEADER = @ OWNER Group HEADER = @ ------------------------------------------ RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_PIPE|CT_BEND && SIZE1>=8 RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_FITTING_TEE && SIZE1>=8 RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_REDUCER && SIZE1>=8 RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_ELBOW && SIZE1>=8 RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_FLANGE && SIZE1>=8 RULE = IE_TYPE=.*VALVE.* && SIZE1>=8 SORTGROUP = CONTRACTOR HEADER = @ ------------------------------------------ HEADER = @ CONTRACTOR Group HEADER = @ ------------------------------------------ RULE = IE_TYPE=CT_PIPE|CT_BEND RULE = IE_TYPE=CT.*
