Dimensions on tables for workshop drawings

Anonymous — Mon, 13 May 2019 04:06:23 GMT

Hey guys.
I'm pretty new when it comes to Fusion, so maybe i'm missing something....

When I produce workshop drawings, I can't figure out how to get the length of the part to populate in the description box.

It should read:
Item 1
QTY 1
Part number Top Rail

Description 2100
Material Steel (though would like to change this to 125x75)

At the moment, I have to manually type the dimensions into the box and it's taking a very long time, and has the chance of human error.

Any help would be great.

Picture attached so you can see what I mean.

So from the Model work space, I can right click on the component, and add where it says description, write 125x75 RHS, then that info populates on my workshop drawings.

Still not sure how to add a "length" column though.

Hi,

the only way I know:

Take a look at Open Bom.

Thanks for the reply mate.

That still requires manual data entry though.

Surely there is a way for the length to auto populate in the "table" on the drawings workspace like CAD does

Here is a workshop drawing from my old software...... It has length Auto populated.

Hi Scott,

maybe you should put this in the Idea Station.
There is a similar contribution.
