SW2005 SP2.0 B.O.M. Question??
(OP)
All,
We use toolbox and assign company part numbers and descriptions to the individual configurations of the toolbox part file. To get this information to show up in the drawing BOM correctly as seprate items, we check "Display as one item number" and "Display configurations of the same part as seperate items".
So now the problem is if we have another assy with multiple cinfigs, they all show up as seperate items also. We would like for them to show up as one item...
We have grouped the multiple instances of this item so the configs show up as one item. Then we manually edit the Qty of the one item.
My question is if there is a better way of doing this?? We would like the multi's of the hardware as seperate items, but the multi's of this one item to show as one line item with correct Qty.
Thank You.

My Solidworks is not set up this way, so when I insert a BOM, it groups all bolts together into one item.
