I didn't used to have this problem,but lately when I try to show a BOM in an assembly document (not a drawing, but the assy document itself), the BOM display is totally screwed up and unreadable. Does anyone else have this problem, and if you do, were you able to fix it? See attached file for how it looks.

You may have an unusual scale set for your text size in Document Propertes>Detailing>Text scale. Change this value to reduce text size, or use the "Always display text at the same size", which ignores tables and displays their text at the size speified by the table.

That isn't it. Scale is set to 1:1. I changed it to 1:2 and still got the same results. I'm not sure what made this happen, because I used to do it regularly with no problem. I just haven't done it for a year or two, now all of a sudden it does this.

Check the font size being used in the BOM template, and what is actually being used in the inserted BOM.
