All,
Two questions!
Is there anyway to make this setting 1.0 in the BOM scaling by default, and make the BOM text default text without word wrap?
I am curious if/what benefits there would be to using "excel based bill of material" ?
- To create a BOM at my work, we do the following.
- In the assembly we insert-> Tables-> Bill of Materials
- Then we right click-> save as-> excel 2007 file type then copy/paste this content into our official excel spreadsheet BOM.
We are using 2017 SP4.1
Hello,
I don't know if you can toggle off word wrapping, but to eliminate word wrap, how about making the required columns extra wide in your BOM template so when exported to Excel, none are wrapped and then there, select all and uncheck Wrap Text.
For the BOM scaling, since it's dependent on the current view depth when the BOM is created, I don't know how to set the zoom to where it's always 1.0.
Zoom out too far and it's over 1.0 and under 1.0 when you zoom in too tight.
Zoom to fit doesn't bring you to the 1.0 sweet spot either, so it's also seems like it's tied to the assembly's bounding box size too.
Perhaps there's a way to set the zoom via a macro to get 1.0, but the answer to that would have to come from others with API expertise.
Sorry, no real help from me.
