Detailing and customizing a BOM in a drawing file

In this recipe, you will create a General Arrangement (GA), a drawing of an existing assembly, add and customize a BOM to the drawing sheet, and auto-balloon all components within the drawing.

Getting ready

To begin this recipe, you will need access to the Chapter 6 folder and Shaft Gear Motor.iam. This can be found in this folder directory: Inventor 2023 Cookbook | Chapter 6 | Shaft Gear Motor.

How to do it…

Ensure that you have Shaft Gear Motor.iam open in Inventor. To create a GA drawing, and add and customize a BOM to the drawing sheet, we will follow these steps:

Select File, New, Metric, ISO.idw, and then select Create.
In the new ISO.idw file, select Base View, and browse Shaft Gear Motor.iam. Use the ViewCube to rotate the base view so that the ViewCube is displaying the top view, as shown in Figure 6.94. Change Scale to 1:4:
