AFX BOM showing total length of an item

When we build a frame using AFX, we get many items in the BOM, totaled by Quantity. I saw a demo video of Framework where they had a secondary BOM that totaled the items by part number, individual length, quantity and then a total length. We need the total length for purchasing to enable them to order the stock items. How is this total put into a BOM? If someone has a sample BOM table you can upload, that would be very helpful. We are currently on Creo4 m080 with Windchill 11.0  m030.

Hi @BenLoosli 

 

what you probably want is a Cut List Table. 

See docu for more infos:
