Hi All
Does anyone have some advice for me with regards to sorting of BOM's
Typically I have a property on each part that categorizes it , i.e custom property is "part type" with a couple of different options like machined, bought out and sheet metal.
When I create the assembly drawing I want to insert the BOM and then be able to sort the BOM so that it groups all the machined part together and all the bought out parts together and all the sheet metal part together.
The cherry on top would be to also add a heading above each group.
Any ideas regarding this would be helpful. or if someone has developed an API to automate this.
Regards
Rob
Hello Robert,
I just opened up SolidWorks and saw this Tip of the Day.
"You can sort items in a Bill of Materials. Right-click the BOM and select Properties. On the Contents tab, Click any of the columns that are displayed on the tab to sort. Click again to reverse the order."
I haven't tried it but it sounds like this may help you.
