How to Link a Component's Custom Property to its Description in an Assembly's BOM

Out of category

Hello

I'm on SW 2015

I created my components and assemblies by filling in the custom properties using the SmartProperties tool.

But it is impossible to link component ownership  to the BOM of the drawing in the assembly. Instead, I find the properties of assembly.

If anyone has the solution.

 

Thank you

Hello

This is a normal behavior since you fill in the custom properties of your parts, you would have to fill in the one of the assembly for them to appear in the MEP of the assembly...

Hello

Thank you for your interest in my question.

My message wasn't clear enough, but I'm trying to fill in the property of the nomenclature and name the block.

Let's take for example an assembly whose description is "bike": in the name, where I would like it to be written "wheel" as entered in the property of the component, I find the designation "bike" and this, on all the components. 

I've tried all sorts of settings to bind properties, but I can't find the properties I created in the component-specific drop-down menus.

Normally everything is linked, otherwise you have to modify your nomenclature so that it fetches the information from your parts and once it has been modified you will just have to save it...

When you look at the properties of your component, are they well informed? (in Customize properties or Configuration Specific)

A print-screen of the problem would be useful.

Thank you:)

Hello

A new custom BOM table must be created.

You place yourself in your 3D
You insert the standard nomenclature of SW (bom-standard.sldbomtbt if I remember correctly)
You right-click on the header of a column
You insert a new column (right or left)
In the window that just appeared:
Column Type: Custom Property
Property name: You select a property name (of your rooms) that you want to appear in this column.

You insert as many columns as you need to have the information of the parts in your assembly.

Don't forget to save the new BOM configuration at the end.
Selects the BOM
In the top  left corner right-click on the square with the arrow cross
Select save-as
Saved in .sldbomtbt format. (save your new nomenclature in a directory where you can find it easily)

Your new BOM can also be used in a drawing.
Select a view of your assembly and insert your new BOM configuration

Kind regards
