BOM Table Row Help

BOM Table Row Help

BOM Table Row Help

(OP)
Anybody,

All I want to do is add sundries to my BOM like glue, paint, grease, locktite, and so on. I need to add ten extra rows in a bill of material, but I pick the BOM and do the add row function, i'm not allowed to edit the columns. So when I insert a BOM I use Insert-> Tables-> Bill Of material ->..etc .. etc. -> I select the view, I select my table template (xxxx.sldbomtbt) file.

Should I just make a another table and place above the parametric table ? The down side to this option is everything in this new table is not parametric, and I'm always change the drawing because the customer can never make up there mind if you know what I mean ? So if anybody knows a trick I would greatly appreciate it, Thank-you.

RE: BOM Table Row Help

Create & insert "dummy" parts (representing your "sundries") into your assy. The parts need not contain any geometry & will not be seen in the graphics area, but will be included in the BOM. The parts Custom Properties can be used to populate the BOM.

& all the best.
