Mechanical Desktop 6 Parts Lists

Mechanical Desktop 6 Parts Lists

Mechanical Desktop 6 Parts Lists

(OP)
Hi,
I have a large assembly that I want to include a parts list for. My assy has about 100 items. When the part list comes in, it just builds itself straight up past the drawing border.

The Question; How can I split the part list into several smaller lists on the same sheet, and still keep the item numbers incremental?

Thanks Tons
Pal

RE: Mechanical Desktop 6 Parts Lists

You may want to look into creating a custom parts list. If you go under actions and then Mechanical Options, select Parts Lists. There will be a tab that has the custom parts list selection available.

I believe you have to make a block of the shape you want first. I haven't done this yet, but it doesn't look to terribly difficult.

The only other thing I can think of is to make your parts list and then explode it to allow you to edit it and move portions around. Not the best option, especially if things are going to change.
