Excel BOM inserts with wrong font
Excel BOM inserts with wrong font
(OP)
I'm trying to set up the new drawing templates where I work, in SW 2007 SP 4.0. I'm running into 2 problems.
I can't link an excel BOM to a blank view.
When I insert the BOM the font in the cells is Century Gothic size 12. The excel BOM and table and the annotation font for the sheet are both set to Arial, size 8.
What option am I missing?

RE: Excel BOM inserts with wrong font
I'm pretty sure Excel BOMs retain the font from their Excel templates and don't take on font from drawing properties.
If you use a new table-style BOM, its font is controlled by the drawing document options.

Neither can anybody else! A BOM (Excel or SW style) cannot be linked to an empty view.

TheTick, I made a new BOM with the fields we want and when I saved the excel file I saved it as Arial size 6. I may just go to the Solidworks BOM, since that appears to update fine.
Is it possible to rotate a table? I'm trying to get a revision block (excel or SW) to go to 90 deg.
