What part of the BOM,.... Description?

Edit the family table for the pipe in the Content Center, either add a column for Description, or choose an existing column that will work for you, and map that column to Project.Description.  In my example I am mapping Filename, this pushes the value of Filename out to the pipe spool's Description iproperty.  It should now show up in the BOM.

Dear Sir,

Earlier u have given me a suggestion, which is very useful for me, thanks for that.

But as per attached file of partlist which format i m using, I want Pipe member name automatically in PART NUMBER Column.

As per Suggestion given by you, there is no option seems of "Project.Part Number" in Map to Inventor Property.

Aslo I have to set Qty of pipe segment, from Document Settings, Bill of meterial option.

Every time I have to change "EACH", instead of perticular Length.

awaiting of your resopnse. . .

Thanks

If you are not seeing the project. Part Number in your property list, that means it has already been mapped in a different column.  It can only be mapped once.  You can change the mapping to whatever works best for you, by searching through your mapped columns until you find which one is using that property, and simply removing the mapping or changing it to a different one to suit your needs.  Then it will be available in that list for assigning to a different column.

Wow, that's not confusing at all.  I hope this helps.
