Hello all,

I have one drawing in which Front View "A" is linked to "Assembly1" and another front View "B" is linked to "Assembly2". I need to show a table with part weight in which few parts which belong to Assembly1 and few to Assembly2.

Can anybody help me on this. Presently i m manually entering the values.
I am working on solidworks 2014.

IEngr,

Are Assembly1 and Assembly2 separate files, or configurations?

If your parts have the attribute MASS, you can attach the data to a BOM, or to a linked note. Does it have to be a proper table?

Hi JHG,

Assembly1 and Assembly2 are separate files.
And it has to be a proper table.
I tried with BOM, it works. but then it will be two separate BOM. I need both mass in same table in different column.

Put Assembly1 and Assembly2 into a new assembly (Assembly3). Make the BOM from Assembly3. You can still link Front View "A" and Front View "B" to that BOM. You don't even have to have a view of Assembly3 on the visible area of the sheet.
