Insert Component 08
Insert Component 08
(OP)
When inserting a component in SW 08 as far as I know they took away the description. Is there any way to change this and get a desciption back i.e. a setting?
We have our part numbers as config. names but I have no idea what that part is Im trying to insert if I have no description.
I know I have the right file but do i have the right fitting config. does it have G-1/8 thread or G-1/4 or the fittings tube size..... As of now I guess at the config. and if i'm wrong change the config. after I insert it.
More annoying than anything.
Thanks for any help.

That description is of the file.
If my memory is correct in SW 07 the description was in "" after the config. name.
see links
Thanks if anyone can help.

You may well be correct, but I don't remember seeing the "Description" suffix in the config box; only in the FM tree.
I've just uninstalled '07 so cannot check.

Have you checked with your VAR to see if they know whether that display feature has been removed?
RE: Insert Component 08
Even that would be fine. With us they have the same description so our BOM is not something totally different.
cor.
Thats my next step I allways check here first as you guys probably know more than our VAR. My gut feeling is it was removed and I have to put in an enhancement request to try and get it back for 09....
Thanks for your help.

I asked him to put in an enhancement request to hopefully get some variation of description back when inserting via file explorer.
