Working with BOM, creating a list of parts directly



In this example, a list of assembly parts is created from BOM directly. You have to define only the insertion point of the first line of the text table, the position of the last line and the table lines are inserted automatically. If the list is longer than the defined space (the vertical difference between the two points), you can continue to insert the remaining part of the table at a different location. Configuration of table lines (records) allows you to change text attributes and text locations for each object separately. For instance, a record may contain multiple lines and variety of text styles.

Working with BOM, creating a list of parts using a text file



In this example, a list of assembly parts is created via a text file. BOM saves the list into a formatted text file. The text file is inserted into 2D area. The 2D drawing contains a prepared table. Width of columns and text attributes of text objects correspond to width of columns of solid attributes, see Definition of output to formatted text files. The text file is available also for other programs. On the other side, this method works correctly only for fonts with fixed width and configuration is more difficult than in the previous example.


BOM, selecting output to a formatted text file

Select a file name, the list of parts is saved.


Insert the text file into 2D area

The drawing contains the prepared table. Select a location of the first line properly. In this example, the lower left corner of the first inserted line is at the highlighted grid point.
