We are trying to set up our BOMs so that they export easily from within PDM instead of having to open each assembly and export from the assembly.
We are creating a custom BOM template in PDM (however, this is an issue with the stock template too), but cannot get the quantity column to display anything besides the file count that is contained in the assembly. For instance, if we had a tube of sealant...the custom property has the option "BOM-quantity" changed to reference a custom property that is set to 0.1.
It all displays properly on the BOM table inside the assembly as well as inside the drawing, just not at the PDM level.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Hi Rachel, I just tried to replicate your steps and I seem to get the correct quantity. See my screenshots below:
Property of my part
BOM in my assembly:
Added the assembly and part to PDM, checked in, and this is what I get in the Bill of Materials tab:
You can see the correct quantity is given under Quantity. Here's how my BOM column set is set up:
What version of SolidWorks and PDM are you using? I'm using 2016 SP2.
Kind regards,
