Working with BOM, displaying BOM objects, filling title blocks
BOM contains a list of assembly parts, their names and attributes. BOM allows you to edit solid attributes or export data to various types of files. Solid attributes can be edited or defined also in separate command. To be listed in BOM, solids must have defined at least their names.

Display of columns settings
This function can be called by right click at column headers or from the pull down menu. You can also left click the column header. Then the list will be sorted according to attributes in this column.
Copy of assembly attributes "dwg. no." to part attributes "assembly number"
Updating data of title blocks
All attributes are copied into corresponding part files. Then the files are ready for filling title blocks. If the part files belong to part-assembly link, the data are updated always automatically. Attributes "assembly number" are updated as a result from the previous step.
Open the corresponding file containing a part
In 2D, select the function "Fill Title Blocks"
Automatic title block insertion and filling
In this example, the title block is automatically inserted and automatically filled. If the title block was inserted and filled previously, the old data are removed first.

Creating a list of supplementary objects
You can create a list of supplementary objects like paint, oil, grease, welding electrodes or other similar items. Such objects cannot be created in 3D modeler, but they must appear in BOM.
