Why is the description in my BOM table for a sub-assy the configuration name?
Also, how can I change to the logical 'description' from the properties as default, like it should be?
If I change the configuration name, the drawing then says something has changed and uses the correct description. However, when I re-open the drawing, all has changed back.. again.
Thanks, Rob.
Believe it or not, there's another path that can create this insanity.
The configuration name became locked (greyed-out, not sure how), and SW duplicated the configuration into the description, and the 'use in BOM' check box was clicked.
This took ages of changing settings to figure out.
*1) Draw circle on wall... 2) Bang head inside circle...3) Does all make sense? If not, repeat step 2*
Yep, if there's two ways to do something it always seems like I pick the wrong way first, even if I swapped decisions at the beginning.
Is a Design Table involved? That could be controlling things from the shadows
No, no design tables. Every time I use them I lose a few years off my life! Just multiple configurations
I'm now stuck with balloons that have * in them, and qty's of -X
Hi Martin
If you switch to the config tab and Right Click and select properties you get these options. What are yours showing?
