Hi,
I am wanting to find a way to create a BOM template with a column automatically showing the drawing sheet references for the various parts or sub-assemblies that are shown in the BOM.
There obviously is a way to do this as so many of the ACAD drawings for steel detailing I am seeing now have this in the BOM lists. Manual insertion into the BOM from a manually created excel sheet seems a bit long-winded on a large assembly.
Any help please? Cheers John
If all your sheets are in the same file, there is a macro that can be adapted with a good bit of work to find parts in the BOM (Excel-based only, parts only).
Otherwise, add the shet number to a custom prop in the model file's config specific properties. That way you can pull it into any drawing that requires the info.
Don't forget to submit an enhancement request for a better way to handle this elementary drawing task.
