How to disable text wrapping in parts list?

Hi,

Every 32nd character in the parts list wraps to a new line. How to turn it off?

By increasing the width of the column in the parts list? I have 36 characters in the last line.

How did you do that?

I press the "right mouse button" on the column and nothing happens.

Double click on the parts list to enter edit mode then R.Click in the column header.

Right click on the column heading in the parts list dialog. But that doesn't disable wrapping.. It just requires you manually adjust the width if the text is too long?

Whats wrong with it wrapping though? It should just expand the cell size and thats it..

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying. But, I can only highlight the column. I can't do any more actions by clicking on the title.

In my case, a new line is created and the text is wrapped onto it.

That's how it works. If the column is too narrow, the text will wrap. If you don't want it to wrap, you have to make the column wider.

You seem to be have some different Parts List dialog that I'm not familiar with..

Not sure if its some language pack difference or what..

Hi Folks,

The OP has ESKD (Russian standard) add-in enabled. I don't think the PartsList style can alter the format. The objects created in such environment isn't controlled by the standards.

Many thanks!

OMG, Thank you!

I've added the classic create BOM button to the custom tab and now I'm able to customize the parts list more flexibly.
