How to add information to the BOM

How to add information to the BOM

How to add information to the BOM

(OP)
I wonder how I could add some more information in the BOM list. I would like to add some of the information I get when I do the Measure Inertia command of my parts.
Any help on this matter will be fine.

RE: How to add information to the BOM

Hello Yngve

One method:
In the part property box, define a new parameter f.ex a mass parameter.

Perform a intertia measure on the part, with keep measure turned on.

In the part property box, go to edit formula in the new property field.In the edit formula box, simply click on the mass of your kept part measure. This new part property will now be linked to the parts weight. Be sure to set "Update measure in Part" under tools options...somewhere, under measures I think...

when you now go to analyze-bill of material you will see that your new part-property will be available for use.(under define formats).

Hope the explanation was usable :)
