Inventor / Solidworks BOM / parts list question

jyager — Wed, 08 Jun 2016 14:00:15 GMT

We have a subcontractor working on a project I'm not involved in and their drawing parts list is displaying as some type of structured list. See below.

This list is going to confuse the hell out of the fabricators. Is there a setting in Solidworks to change this parts list to a "parts only" list like in Inventor?

I have no Solidworks experience, but the project engineers are asking for assistance since our sub is unsure of how to accomplish this. Thanks for any help.

Hi jyager,

Not to put him on the spot but maybe @Cadmanto knows the picks and clicks involved in configuring the BOM/Partlist for a fabrication style partslist.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

I figured some people on here use both and it might be easier to explain what I was looking for in case it was something dramatically different in SW. Thanks.
