BOM

Is there a way to break the table based BOM like you can do with the
Excel based BOM?

I am talking about a BOM that is longer than the sheet is tall so that
it runs off the sheet.

We seem to have a problem in 2005 with the Excel based BOMs. We can
creat the drawing and views of an assembly but the placement of an
Excel based BOM causes major instability problems. After an Excel
Based BOM is placed you can no longer open the drawing and you have to
recreate it.

Thanks,

 

Yes, put your cursor on the left most end of the row where you want to split
the table. It should look like a "U" laying on its side with an arrow
pointing to the row. Then RMB and in the context menu, you'll have an option
to "Split". From that option you'll have "Horizontally Above", Horizontally
Below" and "Vertically Right".

Hope this helps,

Richard

 

Thanks for the replies.

We figured it out. Easy really and we like the table based BOMS.

Is SW trying to get away from using Excel?
