Creating prototype for BOM located on separate page
Bill of Materials
As an example, let's create a BOM prototype, whose table will have the following columns: “Item No”,
“Quantity”, “Description”, “Part Number”, “Material”, “Price”.
Let's begin the prototype creation with creating BOM
title blocks for the first and subsequent pages in separate
T-FLEX CAD documents.
The title block for the subsequent pages may
differ from the title block specified for the first
page.
After that, one can proceed with creating the BOM
prototype itself. Call the command “BC: Create Bill
of Materials”. In the coming up dialog box select
““ and press the graphic button
[Create New Template]. After selecting the new
document prototype and entering the name for the
prototype being created, the system activates the text
creation command.
The BOM table is created based on the paragraph text or
multiline text. If you want the system to support
automatic continuation of the BOM table onto the new
pages as records are added (with automatic new page
creation) or into a different area on the current page,
then select the paragraph text. If you select the multiline
text, then your BOM table will grow high without the
capability of transferring it onto another page.
Select, for example, the option (“Create paragraph text”). You should set vertical justification among the
text parameters of the table being created. This should better be done before entering the text.
Call the text parameters dialog box using the
option.
If you want your BOM to grow from bottom up as
records are added, then set Lower Limit justification, to
grow from top down use Upper Limit justification
(Upper Limit justification is set by default). When
creating a BOM prototype on separate page, the vertical
justification is usually required to be the Upper Limit
one.
