Special Parts to be Linked with Bill of Materials

[eberg770]

It would be great if there was a way to have information for a special part be inputted into the bill on a drawing. We had a job where we needed to add U-bolts into the assemblies and call them out in the bill and it was very time consuming to have to manually write them. I know of another program that has this capability and it would be helpful if Advance Steel could do the same.

Thanks.

If I understand you right, you want to habe the specialparts seen in the BoOM if drawings?
This is possible, so maybe I understand it not correct?

[eberg770]

OK I must have missed that before. Thanks for pointing that out.

However, is there a way to have the special part name known so it will not come into the bill as "Special Part"? As I said, we had to make U-Bolts and they needed to be called out in a specific way.

The name of the special is the one you entered in the Free Remark of the properties (in my case, I named it "special part").

Or you change the naming item of specialparts in the mangement tools, but this is better to ask in the forum not here.
Or much better: we talk to this to our customers in our trainings 😃

by reading your comment again...use the correct set of the bolt, there are special sets for bolt which are located on u-profiles.

With U bolts you certainly mean bolts with wedge washers.
Nevertheless, the wedge washers already exist in the database.
Generate in the management tool a new set in your bolt norm, e.g., NaWWU and paste these washers.

I'm not just talking about U-bolts, but any special part in general that you may create. I was using the U-bolts as an example. See below picture for the u-bolt.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea and to everyone else for contributing your thoughts and votes.
Unfortunately, this idea could not be included on our road map and as such we will not be pursuing it in the near future.

Thank you for your understanding.
