Insert BOM to Template

[BandH]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to insert a SolidWorks BOM (not the Excel based one) into a drawing template? SW wold then automatically create a parts list when the assembly is inserted.

Thanks in advance.

Not that I know of. The BOM has to reference an actual model (not even a pre-defined view) and once referenced will not allow the drawing to be saved as a template.

BandH,
What a great idea. You should submit an enhancement request for this. Don't know if SW can do it, but you never know....

Happy Holidays,

This is the message you get when you try to save it like that now and in the end it doesn't save the template after you click through all the OK's.

I have sent in an enhancement request several times for this in the past few years.
I have always wanted this added to the template.

Thanks guys,

I didn't think it was possible - I'll send in an enhancement request now.
