[OmarGT]

Hi guys!

Does anyone know how to make include control valves tags or family description in BOM on isometrics. Thnaks in advance.

I just tried this and it needed some typo corrections, but worked in 2017. I simply do not know why there isn't a switch in Project manager for this????

I have added some pre and post text to help you find it in your own XML file, but the corrected code which works for me is in red. The older posts has spaces and some coding missing.

Hope this helps.

Has anyone figured out how to do this when using shop/field type material list, where you can't copy the 'valve' rows'?

Doesn't matter, all sorted.

Place the same code in the next paragraphs.

How to get a custom part to show up in BOM or MTO.

This is only a quick fix:  I had to change the SKEY to an existing threaded component (like a union)

OPTION 1.

(recommended)

adds to BOM and places a square in the ISO model space

SKEY=SGSC,TYPE=MISC-COMPONENT

OPTION 2.

Made smart plant components

I have made PI, TW< & PITs

Gave them all union SKEYS

The part came into the BOM with my custom description
