How to save customize BOM and report setting from a drawing to another drawing, Autocad Mechanical (Change default setting)

[Ygamedy]

Hi,
like the question say, I would like to save my customized BOM Setting and assign it to every other drawing.

The same thing goes with the report mapping setting.

Thank you!

Hi @Ygamedy,

Thank you for posting your question. It is possible to export a BOM from AutoCAD Mechanical, this will only be the data content, not the settings.

As an alternative, you should be able to save the drawing file that you created the BOM and report in as a drawing template file (DWT). The template would create the same BOM and report in the new file. 

Please let me know if that helps.
