PDW - Bill of material

[Ildiiiii]

Hello,

I saw a solution in another thread for modifying attributes of parts easily.

[ol 1]
[li]Insert a part list inside your main assembly[/li]
[li]In the Part List add new columns[/li]
[li]With column settings, designate each new column/s with the attributes you want to edit or add[/li]
[li]Now click the MW/PDW’s “Bill of MAT” icon and you will see a spread sheet with all the columns and rows as your Part list.[/li]
[li]In the spreadsheet double click the cells and edit/add values.[/li]
[li]When you close the BOM Spread sheet, it will update the parts with new attributes.[/li]
[/ol]

It's not working for me though. As you see on this picture, the PDW's Bill of Material shows the default columns, and not the new column that I added to the parts list.

Does someone know what I am doing wrong?
I'm using NX1899.

Thanks,

I

Why not use the spreadsheet functionality directly? You can skip the partlist.

Hello,

Did You created your own template for part list? If not add Your desired columns for it and after that right click on part list and choose export as template. When You do this You have to go to Your "file -> utilities -> customer defaults -> drafting -> general -> customize standard -> table -> parts list -> default parts list " and add name of Your new template. You have also add this template to \nx folder\UGII\table_files

With best regards
