To complete BOM template editing, one can use the option:
Finish input
The system will then return to the BOM editing mode.
To complete working with this functionality, one can also
use the option . After that, the system returns to the text
creation command. To continue working with the system,
with this command.
Next, let's insert the predefined title block fragment in the
drawing. To do this, use the command “FR: Create
Fragment”.
Then call the command “Edit” from the BOM context
menu and snap the created text to the fragment nodes
(“Node 1” and “Node 2” on the diagram) for the exact
match between the BOM template and the title block lines.
The final step will be insuring the correct BOM
continuation onto the subsequent pages. For this purpose,
call the command “ST: Set Model Status” and on the
“Preferences” tab specify the title block fragment names
for the second and other subsequent pages of the BOM.
You will have to enter the template editing mode again and
call the option . In the coming up dialog box on the tab
“Height” set the action upon the text outgrowing the
rectangle bounds as “Create new rectangle on next page”.
The new rectangle coordinates are set according to the
coordinates of the outer nodes of the table (similar to the
nodes on the previous diagram) on the title block drawing
for the subsequent BOM pages.
Note that the described order of steps in defining the BOM template parameters is not mandatory.
All these steps can be performed in an arbitrary order.
Creating prototype for BOM located on existing drawing page
The sequence of steps for creating such a prototype is mostly the same as in the previously described
situation. As in the case of creating a prototype for a BOM on the separate page, the prototype creation
should begin with creating the BOM header in a separate file.
In the following example, let's create the table header consisting of the same four columns as in the previous
case. Let's position the fixing vector along the top border of the header directed from right to left. The vector
direction choice is based on the requirement, that the BOM table template located on the existing page has
right justification.
