Catia V5 Analyze BOM Listing Report
Catia V5 Analyze BOM Listing Report
(OP)
Hi,
Is there a way to create a new parameter to use in the Analyze BOM listing Report's default list of parameters? Like for example, I would like to include the volume of the individual parts into the listing report.
Do I need a vba macro for this?
Thanks,

You can then add a formula to use the Smartvolume of the partbody to your new parameter
When you analyze the BOM you need to move your new property to the left side to appear in the list.

I haven't heard of formulas in Catia before. Can you point me to a page in this site to get me up to speed with formulas?
Thanks

I might as well get the "mass" of the parts instead of just the volume if I will create a macro.
Do you happen to know a forum in this website for looping macros?
Thanks

Here is a good free forum for scripting.

On this site go to this link and download the portable scrip center 2.0

Ferdo made an amazing collaboration. I did a quick look inside and you can combine a couple a scripts and a little editing to get exactly what you want.
look up in the product section
Publish bodies in CATproduct. You will need to take out the publish part and add a snippet from the Part section - Add CATPart Parameter.
Give that a start but post a question to the first forum. I find Little Cthulhu very helpful to somebody that gives it a try.
