Assembly and Design Table Drawings

In the Bill of Materials PropertyManager use the following options:

Table Position: "Attach to anchor point" unchecked. This way we can locate the

BOM table anywhere in the drawing, otherwise the table will be attached to the

BOM anchor point defined in the drawing template.

BOM Type: "Parts-only" to list all the parts in the assembly, regardless of sub-

assemblies.

Configurations: "With Gears," the assembly configuration we are making a

drawing of.

Part Configuration Grouping: "Display configurations of the same part as

separate items"; by using this option, the screws, which are different configurations

of the same part, will be displayed as different items in the BOM.

Keep Missing Item: OFF. This option will include removed/replaced items from

the assembly in the BOM.

Item Numbers: Start at: 1, Increment: 1.

30.3. -After clicking OK, move the mouse and locate the BOM in the top right

corner of the drawing. While locating the table, notice the table will snap to the

corner. The column's width and row's height can be adjusted by dragging the table

lines just as in MS Excel.

Since we added the "Description" custom property to the 'Worm Gear Shaft'

it is automatically imported into the Bill of Materials. We added a "Description"

property to the 'Worm Gear' and 'Offset Shaff, but it was to the simplified version

of the parts, not the full gear parts added to this assembly.
