Parts List into a Drawing Template

[o.briggs.1]

Is it possible to add a parts list to a drawing template? I would love to have the parts list be added on each drawing I do as is the case with the title block etc. I am able to create a custom table that is added but there is no option for the parts list. Is there a way to add a parts list table to a template so that each drawing I do has the parts list already there rather than needing to add it each time?

thanks

Hi,

if you add a placeholder, the custom list is a parts list

Hi @o.briggs.1 

I put together a quick video that explains a bit more about smart templates (including placeholders for Parts Lists)

Here's more information on using first level and all level templates:

thank you both! that worked brilliantly! The only issue I am now having is being able to edit the size of the text in the table. is it possible to make the text size in the parts list smaller?

thanks!

Hi @o.briggs.1 

Text Height groups control all text in the drawing, have a look here: https://clintbrown.co.uk/2021/09/04/edit-balloon-sizes-text-heights/

that is perfect! thank you. Its a shame you cant define the specific number and can only choose form the drop down but it works well enough! thanks
