Hi All,
I am using BOM's in my drawings and I have custom property boxes that the BOM looks up and gets from my parts.
I am now looking at parts that have multiple configurations (these figurations name usually named appropriately for a title of the part.
So I would like my property name "Title" to be filled in automatically by looking at the configuration name.
I could do this manually but it just means hours of typing in values for the Title property name.
Attachment 1 - What I am wanting the value to look up
Attachment 2 - My simple BOM which looks up titles and others.
Thanks - Jonno

Jonno,
I don't work much with BOMs, but look at some of the threads in the "More Like This" box to the right. I'll bet one or more of them will help you get what you want. You may have to use another column, rather than Title, like Name or Description. Get it all worked out and then save your BOM Template for future use.
Looking at the Configuration Properties of a part, you can select to use the Configuration Description in the Description Column in your BOM by checking the box next to "Use in bill of materials".
