SOLIDWORKS BOM (SLDBOMTBT) DECIMAL TO FRACTION
SOLIDWORKS BOM (SLDBOMTBT) DECIMAL TO FRACTION
(OP)
I have modified my solidworks bom table (sldbomtbt) to pull information from equations in my part models. My model unit is set on fraction but the equation folder in the feature tree of the file converts the information to decimal and that is how they are showing in my bom. How can I convert this information back to fraction form?

1. Creating a "Global Variable" in your part file.
2. Linking a Custom Property to this Global Variable.
3. Referencing this Custom Property in the BOM.
The problem, as you have seen, is that the equations are in decimal form. They don't have the option of converting to fraction. Dimensions can be displayed as fractions, although the underlying, driving value is still stored by SW in decimal form. If you link your Custom Property value to a dimension rather than a Global Variable then you can take advantage of the fractional display. If you don't have any dimensions with the same value as your Global Variable then you will have to create one. The dimension can be driven by or linked to the Global Variable.
