(OP)
I have a large assembly, with 95 parts. Is there a way to get part of the bill on a second sheet WITHOUT converting it to text. The UGS tech help said this couldn't be done.. yet. I cannot believe no one has encountered this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

RE: multi page BOMS

I can't remember all the details to the trick I used, but it dealt with the spacing in between Columns of the BOM (by columns, I don't mean each individual column like "item number" "qty" "part number" "Title" etc., I mean between each group of columns as defined by your header).

You start out with find number 1 on the first sheet and let the BOM run off your page.  Only the portions of the BOM on the drawing sheet will print.
Create a second BOM from the same view.  Move it to sheet 2 and then slide the whole mess over so find 1 and all the other items that appear on sheet one are off to the side.

RE: multi page BOMS

Don't know about second sheet, but what sheet size are you using.

I'd expect 95 items to fit on a D or E no problem.

You'd need to use more then one 'column' of parts list but should fit.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

RE: multi page BOMS

You can't split the parts list over 2 sheets but you can format it to fit better on one sheet.
You could do what Swertel suggests, but then that's 2 parts lists to maintain, and it could cause some confusion later.

RMB on the parts list then click the Size/Placement tab.
In here you can control the height of the list, so that you can use the max available for your sheet, or get it onto 2 similar height columns.
If your list extends over into another section, set the 'Section Gap' to give a separation between the 2 parts of the list.
The location point can be set to any corner of any section.

RE: multi page BOMS

I never thought of what swertel suggests, I'll try it out.

You don't need to create a second BOM. Just copy the first one and paste it in the following sheet. The copy remains linked to the original.
