Hi people, I realise this has been asked a billion times before but i am still having trouble & want to know if what i am trying to do is possible.
I want to change the description of a bolt to be "M(bolt size) bolt. then add the length in another column. example M10 bolt
I want to know if it is possible to do this using the Family Properties & changing the "Family Description" to something like M=<NND> BOLT. i have tried but had no luck as it only comes back with "M Bolt" & no diameter
I hope that someone can tell me if this is possible or another way to make it populate a BOM easily.
Thanks
Yes you can!
That's the code used in DIN library:
"M" & {NND} & " x " & {NLG}
Which gives you this:
M 12X 30
So if you want this:
M10 bolt
You should use somethig like this:
"M" & {NND} & " Bolt "
For lenght, just use {NLG} where you need it. It already has column (nominal lenght)
Hope i was clear enough!

i worked it out that i need to create a custom column & add the equation as you said "M" & {NND} & "BOLT". so it works but the issue i have now is that there are no spaces it looks like this in BOM. M10BOLT i have put spaces n & it does nothing can anyone tell me what is going on or if it is just an issue with INV2012.
