SW BOM CONFIG

    I must be missing something. I am inserting a SW bom into an assy
    drawing. I have the views linked to the bom.
    In the part properties I have listed, partno 5000, description
    bracket.

    When I go to the bom under the part number is listed the name of the
    part, not the number 5000, why, what gives?
    Like I said, in the part properties config, I have partno listed as
    5000, why isn't that showing up in the column for part number?
    Please I wrestled with this in Excel format, and got it. Now it seems
    that its not working in the SW version. Any help is greatly
    appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Pick on the description cell or any within the column for which one you
    want to change and choose the COLUMN PROPERTIES tab in the Feature
    manager. Then you will probably need to toggle OFF the Part Number at
    the top and then choose Custom Property and then you should be able to
    choose the custom property of the part files.
