Thank you for having this posted. There are many things that were not taught in my courses and bill of materials were one of them. I was able to learn and utilize this feature so it may help me in later jobs.
Hi Ray, if you “right” click on the arrows in the upper left of the table, one of your options is to format and you can play with row heights and fit text. Many times if your BOM is just way too long, you can use the split command used around the 33min. mark. Hope you find this helpful and thanks for watching!
Hi, While watching this good movie, I am trying things myself. One of the things that I don't get is, when you make a new collumn and you choose custom property, you have more property-names than I have. And I really need more of them here :( For example: here everything must be in Dutch. So I would like to insert a column with the name "afmetingen" (dimensions) and I allready made a textbox in the custom properties with that name. But what do I have to do extra to be able to choose this when I make an extra column???
Great video! what if i need to create a custom property like ¨Drawing Code Number¨ , but instead of displaying it in the BOM i want it to be displayed at my custom drawing format.?
In the part (or assembly), open up the properties and create your "Drawing Code Number" property, and populate it. Drag your part (or assembly) into a drawing. In the drawing, create a regular "Note". In the PropertyManager of the note, in the "Text Format" section, select the "Link To Property" icon (the little hand holding a paper pointing to a chain). Now select the "Model in view specified in sheet properties" radio button. Under that, in the selection bar, select the "Drawing Code Number" property. Press the "OK" button. Notice that the "note" will now change to your "Drawing Code Number". Move the note to the proper place in the drawing, and save the new custom drawing format/template for future use.
Of course- you can try several things. Change the sheet size to B, adjust the Font size of the BOM text smaller, and/or use the BOM "Split" function described at 33:20 to cut the BOM into smaller "chunks".

Good morning! Merry Christmas! I'm mechanical engineer and searching videos on youtube about make a bill of materials from assembly on Solidworks, find your video, and thanks for sharing, but I have one and important question: If possible from one assembly or list of parts of Solidworks know the quantity of materials needed to buy and build? I appreciate you to help me with this question! Regards!
The obvious answer is that the "QTY" column is the quantity of parts used in the assembly. But if you want to create another column for purchasing / build purposes, follow the steps starting at 17:40. He creates a Purchase (Yes/No) property in the assembly and inserts it into the BOM. You can simply create another property in your part (or assembly) and call it "Qty to Buy/Build", fill in the quantity and then have your BOM show that new column as shown in the video.
Hi. I used a BOM (Indented) and I can't change the order of the parts and the number of the parts. I really want to reposition those parts and give them another number. How is that possible?? Please help me

Can I open drawing part from Bill of Materials ?
very detailed and helpful, thanks!
I have a assembly that is around 70 parts, anyway to fit it all on one page? it is about 5 times the length of the page
