BOM and Cut-List

Adrian Velazquez Nov 19, 2009 9:38 PM

We're in the process of moving form AutoCad to SolidWorks, and I'm having an issue trying to match the way we do BOMs in AutoCad. The problems is that we combine the Cut-List and the BOM as one table, I've tried the Dissolve Weldment Option, but there seems to be a bug with it, the LENGTH and QTY. columns don't do what they're supposed to. Any alternatives to achieve this?

There is the option of indented assemblies under BOM Type in Bill of Materials properties.
This shows the individual components of the weldment (cut list) in the assembly BOM.

Unfortunately there is an issue with this option in that it doesn't show the cut list properly in the BOM, SPR 401483.

if you want to show the cut list on drawing with BOM then you can save it as excel & copy - paste it back to the drawing. Just a work around.

I know exactly what you want to do and I am sorry to say You can not combine cutlists and Bom. Dissolve is only for getting the total leangths of each type of steel profile. I do encourage you to put in an enhancment request so the next version will have this.
