Create Bom Within a View Port?

[dannydarko91]

Hi, im using AutoCad Mechanical 2014 and I was wondering if there is a way when in paper space, I can create a bill of materials just containing the items from model space shown in the viewport.

I have multiple items in model space and the BOM picks up everything. I know i can manually select objects, but thought it would be easier to have it set up so when in paper space and the drawing is bordered i can instantly view the BOM of just that one item.

Im sorry if i havent explained myself fantastically well, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Danny.
