Re: Combining Custom property fields in BOM


Hi John,

Surely the information reported in a BOM will be that of whichever
configuration the drawing the BOM is linked to is? I've run some tests
and the "combined" column seems to report exactly the same as if I had
a separate column for each custom property. What you're reporting
sounds more like a bug than an intended shortcoming though.

Under what circumstances does this problem manifest itself?

George.


Yep the BOM thing works fine.

If you try and report a combined config specific custom property, from a
part that has multiple configs, in a drawing it will report the combined
property from the last opened config not that of the config of the part
shown in the drawing. If you open the part hit and CTRL Q it will update to
the correct config custom property, BUT if you then open another drawing
linked to a different config of the same part that drawings linked
properties will show the config properties of the one you just CTRL Q'd.

If I get time over the weekend I'll create a video of the issue and host it.
Or if you get the chance pop over I'll make you a coffee and show you the
issue. (I had Lindsay confirm the issue, note for everyone else reading
George, Lindsay and I work together on occasion)

I thought about reporting this as a bug, but have become disillusioned with
the whole bug reporting process. Lack of feedback mainly or SolidWorks Corp
state the issue will be fixed in SolidWorks 2008 SP 2
