Mass not displaying in BOM correctly, [...]

[Fonzee]

Hello all,

I am having an issue with a BOM in an assembly. I have 3 parts in the assembly and they are all displayed in the BOM correctly ecspt the mass only displays in 2 of the parts. The other part will display the weight until I update the part list and then it changes to [...]. Any thoughts on why it might be doing this? Thanks for any help.

check the cell properties (style) of the weight that doesn't work correctly, and compare it to the weights of the cells that work correctly, and see if they are the same . . .
especially the cells and fit methods tabs

jerry1423,

I verified the settings with the cells that work and they are both the same.

As jerry1432 has alluded to, when you see something like [...] it's generally an indication that something in the cell's format settings are not allowing the text string to be properly displayed. Perhaps the missing value requires more room so that all the digits are able to fit in the allotted space.

John,
I tried to spread out the cell a little farther and that does not work either. The values that are coming in are 444# and 107# and the one that is missing is 5#. I can get the 5# to show up briefly by relinking it to the body measurement, but when I update the parts list then it goes back to [...]. I will try to delete the cell and add a new note.
