View Fastener "Properties" in a Solidworks Custom BOM

Hi all

From time to time, I find it useful to add the Toolbox screws to my BOM in assembly drawings in Solidworks 2017. Except that my BOM is custom, and the columns I decided to display are all custom properties. So when I create my nomenclature, the whole line corresponding to the Toolbox screws is empty, and I fill it in by hand (very restrictive and a lot of risk of error). I was the one who wrote "Socket set screw ... " and "ISO ... ")

Is there a way to retrieve the name/configuration name/... Toolbox components to include them in a custom property and thus automatically make them appear in my BOM, just like all other components?

I hope I have been clear enough, thank you for your help,

Raphael.

Hello

Logically you just have to open one of your parts from the toolbox, go to the properties to find which property is assigned to the title of the part. Then there are several possibilities, either change the title of the name of the part by the same title assigned to your other pieces so that the name is displayed in your "name" column. Either create a new property line in the toolbox part by choosing the same title as your other parts, and add the name you want to appear.

I hope I've been clear enough...
