BOM of assembly autometic updation

Raj Chorghe Aug 8, 2017 6:00 AM

While inserting BOM of assembly, solidworks gives standard BOM having Item.No, Part number, Description, and quantity.

but when we add column and edit them for some specific value like area , mass, thickness the table is not automatically update.

which means we will not able to see the value of all parts in additional column.

Please find attached image

Kindly help

Have you created the thickness value as a custom property at part level and linked it to the thickness variable?

    Hi Raj,
    Bounding box not quite as easy. See this discussion Bounding Box Area in Custom Properties Tab for a Single Sheet Metal Part
