Spooling Issues

I searched and found the other other thread but it did not solve my issue or help me much.

 

My company is making the switch from Trimble PipeDesigner and while most things are pretty similiar, setting up for this program is quite confusing.

 

My first problem is that I cannot get a BOM to show up on our template when I spool.  If I follow the demo, it works. What am I missing here? I did it once and it worked on our .dwt and then the next time the bom would only show up in the model space while I was in paperspace. Now, the BOM will not show up at all. I'm totally confused.

 

When I go to create, it takes me to the new drawing but shows the spool piece in model space and it does not put it in the selected view angle, not that it matters anyways since I can't get it to spool properly.

 

Also, is there a way to switch the units from inches to feet and inches in the BOM?

 

Lastly, I see that there are two ways to spool? Which way is better?

 

I am running the 2016 versions.

 

TIA
