adding mass property to BOM
adding mass property to BOM
(OP)
I am trying to add a weight column to my BOM, easy enough to do. However; the mass property i.e. - "SW-Mass@partnum.sldprt" (was not part of the custom properties in the model template (The main assembly has several hundred sub parts). Is it possible to add this value to the BOM to retrieve with out having to edit the properties of every single part first?

My goodness... I'm not worthy. A star for you.

P.S. Javelin is our VAR and we have Properlinks (I assume that is what you were referring to with the Javware). You cannot do this with property links.
I am really suprised that the drawing BOM can't populate with SW Model properties - that they have to be a custom property.

The custom property dialogue box is a simple way to have SW calculate & give access to only the SW model properties that you need.
Thanks for the feedback re Javware PropertyLinks. I did not know it could not do that.

Are you actively using the swCP3 add-in that you posted a link for?

What is the error message?
RE: adding mass property to BOM
It loaded and ran in SW06 without problems. It looks to be an OK program, but does not appear to propagate the config specific properties. Unfortunately for me those are the only ones I ever use.

Use the Feedback section at http://swcp3.com/ to let him know of the problem with SW07 & request a fix.
