Resizing BOM?

Is there a way to get the 'new' BOM to use less real estate on the
sheet? I tried using a smaller font, but it seems there is still a lot
of unnecessary 'white-space' in the BOM.

Thanks

 

You can resize it yourself - just grab the edges and pull.

I've done all the pulling it'll allow, then it stops.

I found that under 'Options'> Document Properties> Detailing> Annotations
Font> Tables, under Height is 'Units' and 'Space', space has some effect on
the 'white-space' but I'd like to squeeze it down some more. I have it set
to .0001 right now.

Row height doesn't seem to compress itself very well either, I have some
with Descriptions that are somewhat long, if I drag the column narrow enough
that these fields jump to two rows high, the row height will not switch back
to single if I stretch the column width back.

I was able to reduce the overall size by about a third, but theres still a
lot of wasted space, such as the qty. column, I could easily have the entire
word "QUANTITY" spelled out in the space provided, space I can't shrink any
further.

I have my VAR working on this very problem. If I go to the top of the
column, select it, r-click-format-column width-set it-then save
template, the new width does not stick when I put the B/M back on the
drawing.

 

You are pushing SolidWaste beyond it's design limits!

The programmers only designed the software to deal with about 10 parts in a
assembly. Anything beyond that and the software slows way down and the BOM
will no longer fit in the sheets.

They made it so the BOM's framing is so honken big and waste so much space,
that you will be forced to limit your assembly sizes. It's all part of the
plan.

Don't worry though, it will all be better in 2006 once they add the spell
checker!

 

slepp ckecher, woohoo! ;o)
