BOM Formatting Difficulties

[fiebigc]

I've set the "info_output_format text" option in my config file to have the BOM created as a text file. Now I would like to add information from the parameters box (i.e. material type, density). Is this possible and if so how? Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your question but it sounds more like you should make a drawing.....and you can show whatever you want in the BOM.

There is a way to customise the BOM output - an example of the file is below.


The config option is bom_format and the value is the full path to the location of the format file.

Look in the help files for more information on customising BOM's.

Sounds like youneed to create a repeat region so it fills in automatically.

robertib:


Is there any way to insert material properties (density / weight) into the BOM format?

 

[robertib]

The parameters are PRO_MP_MASS, PRO_MP_DENSITY, PTC_MATERIAL_NAME (Wildfire 3.0).


You will need to ensure that you perform a mass properties calculation to get Wildfire to generate the mass.


Also, you will need to use a material file to use the parameters above, there are alternate versions (look in the parameters, above the OK button is a drop-down box, options are Main, Alternate Mass Properties & Reported Mass Properties).
