How can I get Report Generator not to show welds in the BOM without physically modifying the SORT_CODE values in the catalog.

I have done this for topworks by adding a line similar to SORT_CODE = 200 in the Topworks.ini

How can I do the same for welds? Thanks in advance

kfauver,

The attached jgp under Sort code you see I have it set for 99 so any components that have a sort code higher then 99 will not show up in the report.

What is your sort code for welds?

[kfauver]

Unfortunately some components I need to show in the BOM have a SORT_CODE higher than 99. Welds have a SORT_CODE of 100

use update components, advanced selection, SORT_CODE = 100 and set all welds to exisiting = 1. fire up report generator, tick "Ignore Exisitng Components". weld count will not be included in BOM. when finished re-set all welds to existing = 0.

I figured it out using the 3D Piping Data query in Advanced Selection. Thanks for the help

Hi,

how we control sort_code for Supports for the same?

If you are looking to change the sort code for supports you can add it to
C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant XM\Modules\Base\CLASS.ini

Example:
[BASE_SUPPORTS_CLASS]
PARENT_CLASS=BASE_COMPONENTS_CLASS
METHOD_KEY=BASE_SUPPORTS_METHOD
CLASS_DESCRIPTION=Parent Class - Base Supports
PORT_KEY=SupportPorts
ATTACH_TYPE=3
REBUILD_INSERT_BY=P1
COG_FLAG = DUMMY
PICTURE_FILE_NAME=supports.dll
SHOP_FLD=1.0
SORT_CODE = ???? add what ever number you want here
