Pro|E: Bill of Materials (BOM) Table

Select dropdown: Table/Insert/Table From File

Browse to, and select: bom_table.tbl, downloadable from bom_table.tbl.3

In each individual model file in the assembly, do the following:

- Select dropdown: Tools/Parameters

- Click the green "plus", and add an entry named "REMARKS". Set the type to "string" - Fill in data for the following entries:

>> PART_NUMBER (the actual drawing dash number for the part)

>> DESCRIPTION (name of the part)

>> PART_TYPE (F for "fabricated", P for "purchased", etc.)

>> REMARKS (usually this is a material note, or a vendor part number)

Return to the drawing, and Regenerate/Automatic. Incomplete entries in the table that lack a part number indicate models that have not had the Parameters filled in.
