What is the parameter name for the check box to "Use in Bill of Materials" underneath the configuration description?
I am creating a design table and I would like to configure the description and have that description show up in the BOM. I would also like to avoid opening each individual config. and checking that box if possible.
Thank you.
Darryll, did you happen to figure this out yet? I also need to check this box in a few hundred configurations, and can't quite figure out how to do it w/out manually right clicking each configuration's properties and then manually clicking this box.
Scott, could you elaborate on your description? I haven't changed anything in my BOM settings and the description doesn't show up unless I check this box. Please let me know if i'm missing something.
Much appreciated,
Brian
As of SW 2011 SP5.0, that box does not appear to be tied to the design table. One way to get the effect would be to set $DESCRIPTION and $PRP@Description to the same value in your design table.
$PRP@Description is the description in the configuration properties shown above
$DESCRIPTION is the description shown on the configuration specific tab of "Properties" in the file menu
This worked great, thanks Frank!
Darryll,
That is nothing more then using the default out of the box description custom property for use in the BOM's
