Transfering Configuration Properties to BOM

    The Configuration Properties dialog box has 3 inputs- Configuration
    name, Description, and Comment. Does anyone know how to transfer what
    is entered in the Comment field in the Configuration Properties dialog
    box to a BOM (Bill of Material) in the drawing ??

    I'm using this for a Toolbox part with a dozen configurations, each
    with its own Comment. I have tweaked SWBrowser.mdb to automatically
    generate Configuration name(s) and Comment(s) that our group likes. I
    would like to make this an automated process & avoid having to type in
    a Custom Configuration Specific Property (like PartNo, Number, etc.)
    for each configuration.

  2. You could create an application to generate this in the Config Specific
    Properties basically it would copy the already generated Description and
    Comments to Separate Config Specific Properties, every time a config is
    added automatically you wouldn't even know it was running. If you don't
    program yourself read my sign below.
