configurations is a very useful program functionality. But by default creating configurations, the program uses in the bill of materials document name. Means, if in the assembly you use bolts, flanges, tees with configurations, to w liście BOM będą się wyświetlać pod nazwą dokumentu – czyli nie będzie widać, that they are different parts.
To change it, right-click on the configuration and select change properties. in the tab BOM options this can be changed by selecting from the dropdown list instead Document name > Configuration name. Procedurę należałoby powtórzyć dla każdej konfiguracji – to zabiera czas…
Therefore, it can be automated.
An Excel design table must be inserted. The $ PART NUMBER column will appear in this table (eng. $PARTNUMBER), and if it did not appear, then it should be added. The procedure would have to be repeated for each configuration $D – co oznacza wyświetlanie w BOM pod The procedure would have to be repeated for each configuration. For a given configuration to be displayed under configuration name, use $K.
attention! The SOLIDWORKS language version will be relevant. We use other markings in the Polish version, English, German etc..
Now change the value in the first cell to $ K and drag it around the corner duplicating this value in all cells of the column.
This way, we quickly change the display in the BOM from the default document name (which doesn't make sense) on configuration name.
