Locking BOM Row Heights and Column Widths

Locking BOM Row Heights and Column Widths

Locking BOM Row Heights and Column Widths

(OP)
Hello all,
Has anyone found a way to lock the SW BOM row heights and column widths on the template?  I found some posts from 04' regarding the same issue so I was hoping that in the last 5 years there has been a fix.  I just talked the company into switching over from the Excel based BOM and now they are not so happy about the heights changing.

Thanks in advance,
BB

BodyBagger,
We have used the SolidWorks BOM's for years now. The only time our heights change is if I grab them and drag.
What are you doing that makes the heights change?

Hi Standing,
When we have a description longer than the description field it wraps the text and then changes the height of all the rows to match.  We would rather have it lengthen the description field as necessary if possible and never change the row height.

Give it a quick try, maybe it will work for you.
