Editing automatic parts list columns
Editing automatic parts list columns
(OP)
I've generated the default automatic parts list in an assembly drawing.
Is there a way of making the part name and/or description columns show as well as the part id?
I've read the help files but they're not helpful at all.
This is in NX6.

RE: Editing automatic parts list columns
I spent about half an hour trying various things.
What stopped me working it out for myself was that the selection of the actual column rather than cells within it was not clear. Unless the column is selected properly then no "columns" tab appears in the style menu.
The best way to select the column seems to be to hover on the edge of the table on the column required.
If the all the cells are selected then "right-click", "select from list" only brings up "parts list cell" as an option.

Part Item ID <W$=@CALLOUT>
Part Number <W$=@$PART_NAME>
Part Description <W$=@?DB_PART_NAME>
Part Quantity $~Q
There are probably others or more elegant ways of achieving this but it works for me and if it helps you then that's cool ...
