I have a bracket which is a weldment, I want the size of each welded plate to appear in the automatic BOM, I am finding it difficult to include it in the BOM. (Eg-1750x800x12).
If you want the part size to be measured according to specific csys axes and xyz sizes put to part's parameters, you have to write a toolkit application. This is very expensive.
But there is a company somewhere, which produces a shell for easy writing on top of Pro/E (http://www.buydesignautomation.com/). Take a look at what they offer.
p-AdvancedBOM can compute this automatically for you during extraction of the BOM. It will export directly to MS-Excel, ASCII/CSV, Databases and XML.
You can also specify BASIC MASSPROPS and the set material name as well as Dx, Dy, Dz model size measurements - amongst other specialized functions.
If you are working with sheet metal models, you can also extract the material thickness, inner and outer profile lengths, and some other interesting information.
