    You'll probably have to use the Excel BOM that's still available in 2004
    after lots of complaints during Beta.

    From the menus: Insert>Tables>Excel based bill of materials...

    This question is regarding the new table based BOM's in SolidWorks 2004. I
    feel like I'm missing some very basic functionality that I can't believe is
    not there. All I want to do is in the table BOM on each row take the
    quantity of parts times the weight of the part. I would then create another
    column for example called total weight (for that row) and put that value in.
    I then at the bottom want to sum up the total weight of the assembly.

    I understand of course how to do that with the old excel based BOM method.
    I also understand that I can go into the mass properties of the assembly and
    check the total weight. I thought that simple math operations would be
    included in the new table method

    Thanks Much
