Changing BOM column width in AutoCAD Mechanical

Hello,

 

I'm new to AutoCAD Mechanical, and had a question on BOM's:

 

Is there a way to change a column width?  I need to put in more information under the "description" than the width will allow.  I understand that while my BOM is activated, I can stretch my column header to whatever I want, but that doesn't transition to my actual BOM when I finish.. it just shows my additional text overlapping the the next column.

 

Thanks

Hi There,

 

I could able to drag and stretch the BOM column width for description. Please see attached screenshot and let me know if i am missing something here.

Hi Vinod,

 

I am also having issues with the column widths, not in the parts list, but for the BOM printout. See below screen shot of BOM and print preview, i have arranged the widths in the BOM as i would like but i cant get the print to do the same. I have played around with the mask editor but nothing changes?

 

Thanks,

Have you checked the column width in the OPTIONS > AM:STANDARDS > PARTS LIST to see if the columns for your standard is what you want?
