How can I add a custom property to populate the nomenclature
column in our BOM? For example, I want all the Hex nuts to say
"Nut, Hex" in the BOM. I tried creating a custom property within
Toolbox "browser configuration." I'm using SW2006 sp4.
Actually, I did get this to work if I insert a new Hex nut into an assy and then create a drawing out of it. The nomenclature says Nut, Hex just like I want. However if I save the drawing, close Solidworks, then reopen the drawing, "Nut, Hex" in the BOM disappears. Seems buggy to me. Anyone else able to overcome this problem?

So far, I have worked directly within Solidworks for the BOM and I haven't used an excel file. Can you give a little more explanation as to what to do in tools option data?
