Custom library created by Material Guide auto drop table problem

Hello

I have created the Custom library of ISO bolts by adding the Material to existing ISO library using the Material Guide.

 

The goal is to make bolts black and anodized to be more specific with purchase orders from very beginning.

 

After the adding the material everything is working good except the auto drop.

There is a wide Table pop ups with a lot of unnecessary info.

 

Is it possible to choose the columns to represent there?

I mean leave just Material or Part Number ?

Please advise.

 

Regards,

Orest Yavtushenko

Hi Orest,

 

In the family table define as Key columns the ones you want to see in the dialog.

Then, when you are placing the component, select the option Change Size instead of Place.

In the following dialog you should see just the column defined as keys.

 

I hope it helps.

 

Kind regards,

Alessandro

I used to try to set requied fields as a key but forget about Refresh so Inventor

Now everything is OK
