BOM

BOM

(OP)
Hello
Can someone tell me how to insert a BOM I have gone to
Insert like the book says but I cant find the option
that is suppose to be there
Thanks

RE: BOM

You need to activate a drawing view first, and then select Insert. The insert BOM option will appear with the view activated. Hope this helps.

RE: BOM

Three other assumptions....
You are working IN an assembly (drawing)
Your machine has Microsoft Excel (97 or later)
Your 'assembly' is already visible as a view on the drawing.

RE: BOM

MouseTrap,

The part in the drawing does not have to be an assembly to generate a Bill of Materials.  You can generate a BOM from a single part.  While I do have a use for this, I would bet someone out there would.

Hi
I need help again on the BOM. I have found how to insert the BOM into the drawing but when I click to edit I can not   save the changes I have made .
Thanks
Yvonne

RE: BOM

That's probably because you have auto update BOM turned on under your Tools\Options\Document properties\Detailing Turn that off then when you edit your BOM manaully the information won't be removed. Only problem is the BOM will no longer update if something changes.
