DINrail/Wiring Duct

I am wanting to change the wddinrl.xls file so my RAILENSTD is 1 (for 1 inch) so that my BOM comes out with inches instead of number of sections.  This part of it works, but when I insert it has a break line every 1 inch as shown in the image attached.  I have been unsuccessful modifying that file so that I only get a line at the beginning and the end of the entire section.  Does anyone know how to accomplish this?  It would save a lot of headaches and manually changing our BOM every time it is run for din rail and wiring duct. 

 

Thank you

I don't think you can do much about this, as that variable, as you already know, controls the "standard length" that this duct is delivered in.

I was kind of thinking that too, but hoping there was a way around it.  That stinks because so far if we could get that to work (having wiring duct/din rail report in inches instead of how many pieces show on the panel layout and the panel drawing looking like 1 piece) I think the BOM would be exactly the way we would need it finally and no longer having to use a work-around.  If something comes up we would be very interested in that fix or change.  

 

Thank you for checking.
