How to add part area to BOM

Jan Stegmann Sep 28, 2015 3:44 AM

Hey,

I would like to have part area (not surface area) shown in the bom.

How do I do that?

Is it possible to make a surface offset and make an equation?

The surface area shown in the mass properties is the combined surface area of all visible surface of a part. So what else you need?

  What I need is to be able to show the part area (marked with blue) in the BOM.
  
  The parts i'm working with is similar to the part above.
  The reason for that is that we make composite parts with different material density and can not use SolidWorks way to calculate the weight of the part. We use an area density and part area to calculate the weight.

    Check Jim's add-in for that or you might have to manually check and enter the value.
