Assembly Lables

[Jared_caw]

Several times we've had to extend the space given to the hardware list field on our assembly labels. One of our shop floor managers thinks that several of the items that get included in that list are not necessary.

Is there a way we can edit what gets added to that list? It seems that we don't need to list edge banding materials or door sizes in the list.

See this example. The items with an arrow were deemed not necessary.

First things first-

These settings will affect the output for labels:
Measurement Systems->Assembly Label Measurement Precision
Measurement Systems->Assembly Label Measurement System
These 2 settings will control what system and to what level of precision the measurements are displayed. You can have it display like 14 1/8"D instead of your current 14.125"D, or in metric if you prefer.

Labels->Assembly Label Items
    Here is where you decide whether "hardware" (which is really just all BOM items that are not set to use with optimizer in CV), doors, drawer boxes, buyout doors only, or buyout drawer boxes only are listed.  If you check doors, all doors will list.  If you check buyout doors only, only doors listed as buyout will print.  This is super helpful and I recommend you at least print buyout items, even if you turn off the non-buyout items.
Labels->Assembly Label Max Text Lines
    An additional label will be generated whenever there are more lines than this to print, so you shouldn't be forced to adjust the size of the hardware list.  Just tell it the correct number of lines that can fit.

SKU:
You can decide whether each SKU is printed on labels. Only SKU items where the type is set to "Assembly - Add to Label" will print. If you never want a SKU to print (for example, edge banding or screws or dowels) then just change it to a "regular" sku type.

Material association:
If the association is not with a SKU, you can check/uncheck the "Force Add To Assembly Label". This is the equivalent of the SKU "Assembly - Add To Label" option.
You can change the item type drop down between "Used In Construction" and "Packaged With Assembly" and the BOM items will be grouped by these on the label. This makes it nice for those of us who create packages for each assembly prior to assembling, someone just takes the labels over and makes packages. Then the assembler can focus on the "Used In Construction" area for things like particular locks, hinges, slides, etc.
