Stock sizes in Bill of Materials (SW 2007)
Stock sizes in Bill of Materials (SW 2007)
(OP)
I have been struggling with this for a while now. I have created a part template with the necessary custom properties for thickness, width, and length. I cannot figure out how to set up a BOM that will show the stock sizes "thk x wdth x lgth" under the "STOCK SIZE" heading.
I have been using Mech Desktop for several years and was able to modify it quite easily to accomodate this requirement, but SW has proven very difficult.
Please help!
