I'd like to create a particular BOM for organizing parts of a particular folder location and identical names. In doing this I've hit a snag on the following two points.
1. Create a bill of materials with parts and assemblies flat within it (similar to what you would see with a Parts only BOM Type but including assemblies as well). I only see BOM Types for Top-level only, Parts only and Indented. (Indented would not work as identical file names would not appear directly beneath each other)
2. I would also like to include the File Location (what you would see by clicking File->Find References) as a column.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks all.
What you are asking should be possible.
From this form post:
INCLUDE FILE PATH IN DRAWINGS
To view your sheet metal parts in its flat form in the assembly right click on the part in the parts list then in the menu select the view configurations and changed the view configuration from default to default flat view.
It may be possible to alter the following script code to select the folder and file names from other part documents either in the BOM or as a note that could be placed in your BOM:
$PRPSHEET:"SW-Folder Name(Folder Name)"$PRPSHEET:"SW-File Name(File Name)"
based on information from this form post:
INCLUDE FILE PATH IN DRAWINGS
