Material column, Assembly material

I cannot find a way to add a material to an assembly. I cannot edit the material column in the parts list to cheat an material description to an assembly.




I want a assembly that I purchase (e.g. roller bearing) to bear the material name "purchased", or a weldment to have the material "weldment".




Any way around this without going to derived components, or losing intellegence in the rest of my bill of material by creating custom properties for the whole column?

P.S. Lets find the guy who hard coded the dialog box size for the part list to a small window so you can only see 2.5 columns at a time and make him eat a bug.

Lets find all guy who hardcoded any dialogbox size
throughout IV and force them to shrink the screen area of their TV to
this micro-nonsense...<g>

Good plan.




In my opinion, Autodesk has always been dialog box challenged. At least with Autocad/MDT you could easily edit the definition file to change the number of rows in a file dialog box, or the size of a preview window.

And for the really hardcore guys, that won't gain
any insight, we could simply make the TV sceen even smaller and add several tabs

Maybe they are planning to let IV7 run on a palm pilot, and they want the dialog boxes to fit.
