Inv11 BOM Multi-line Text Wrap

[Anonymous]

Our company is wanting to start using the automatic BOM that is in Inventor, but there's one thing holding us back. We want to have all of our BOM row heights to be the same height. This isn't a problem if we have single line text. Once multi-line text is entered and it wraps to fit the width of the column, the row height goes double size and the text looks like it's 2x spacing (eventhough in the BOM properites it says single line spacing). I tried using custom text for the BOM data text which has spacing of exact .22, which is what Inventor wraps text as when I just do regular text, so is there a way for us to make our BOM text have a smaller spacing or will we need to just continue manually entering all of our BOM data? Appreciate any help...

You're right it doesn't follow text settings and should be considered a bug. Here's the same text style in a parts list on the left
and a regular text box on the right. Don't expect that to be fixed any time soon.

Thanks Dave...not the news I was looking for but I guess it'll have to do! Anyone from Autodesk have any comments about this? Is this something that will be addressed in a new SP or a new version at all? I can't sell my company on using automatic BOMs unless this could work...it might just be my company that wants to have the row heights the same but I find that unlikely. Anyone else want the same thing or do you all just let it be however big it wants to be?

Sketch,

This issue previously existed as an enhancement request with the Inventor Development team. It was logged as ID #445636. I have bumped its severity as I see it more as a problem then an enhancement. Thanks for bringing this functional need to our attention.
