Open a part/assembly from a BOM table

Hello

 

For some time now (maybe since I switched to the 2017 version, I don't really know) I simply can't open a part or assembly by right-clicking on a line in the BOM. I compared with a colleague also under 2017 he has this possibility, by right-clicking on a line of the nomenclature he can directly open the element. 

 

In advance, thank you for your feedback. 

 

Kind regards

Looking in the "Customize Menu"? that we see on the screen

Hello

If you click on the little black arrows to the left of the BOM, the thumbnails should appear, and if you click on them, it should open.

Hello

As said @Olivier42 in Customize the menu you should have the box Oto "the name of your file" which is not checked.

I looked carefully in Customize menu yes to check that it was not uncheck and I didn't have it at all, see photo. 

I also tried by clicking on the small arrows, I do have a preview of the room by going over the thumbnail but nothing happens when I click on it. 

I tried to put and remove the complex assembly mode to see if it could come from there, it still doesn't change anything.

Nomenclature

You can insert a BOM into drawings and assemblies.

 A drawing can contain a table-based BOM or an Excel BOM, but not both.

A table-based BOM is based on SolidWorks tables and includes the following:

  • Models

  • Anchors

  • Quantities for Configurations

  • Ability to keep (or not) deleted items from assembly

  • Show zero quantity

  • Excluding Assembly Components

  • Follow the assembly order

  • Checking Item Numbers

  • Ability to open parts and assemblies from the table. (Right-click a row and select Open <model>.)

Yes, it is precisely this function that I no longer have access to.

Try restoring your settings, it allows you to put the registry keys back in order....
