As I am currently planning to "embedded" a bom table in my assembly template (hidden by default), I want to get some opinion on whether will the bom table in the assembly impact the assembly performance, especially when there is a long list of item in the bom...

Thanks

Impact should be minimal. Why not test yourself? Add/delete BOM is easy to do...

Glad to know that...
I am indeed trying it out myself, but was just asking around to see incase i missed anything
Thanks

The only time I have seen a hiccup in performance is when I have a large assembly, and I display the BOM so that it stays flat to the screen. Every movement the BOM is completely redrawn. So don't add it so that it stays flat to screen.

Hmm...
Personally, i prefer to have the bom to flat on screen as it make viewing a whole lot easier...
But you do have a point on large assembly...
As i plan to have the bom hidden by default (it is only for our PDM), I think I will just leave it as flat.

But thanks for the input anyway
