Question

BOLT DESCRIPTION IN BOM??

alright,

here is the thing. as long as you got the fastener extension installed you are able to insert standard bolts in your assembly, right?

Now, when creating the BOM the bolts are described as RHB###  and the nut RHN### , mmm that is ok but not at all correct?

Does anybody knows how to configure the box of the table so that it will show the details of the bolt instead of the generic name?

for instance show in the BOM 3/4 -10 UNC x 5  instead of RHB### makes more sense, isn´t it?

I appreciate any help on this

thanks in advance

Regards

You will need to edit the files behind intelligent fasteners to make the description and name fields match what your company needs.

Hi,

bolts and nuts contain set of parameters you can use in BOM output.

Martin,

loosk like my issue could be the configuration of the intelligent extension fastener. As you can see on the parameters table, I just have the generic name

I am trying to add another property but the system keeps telling my the name is invalid.

sorry it is in spanish but it gives you a good idea of what I can see in my laptop.

any other suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Antonio

Guys,

thanks all for your answers, I did not know and I have not looked for the IFX tutorials. After all there is the way around for my BOM.

Basically I left and empty column and then I add the descrition of the bolt manually, what matters for me is that all quantities are updated and not bolts or nuts are missed.

I will try what Oliver recommends as soon as I got a break, I will post my results

thanks again

Antonio
