Join two properties from WELDMENT BOM to display as one column in Drawing BOMs

[david.novak7CYDC]

Hello everybody.

I'm creating some standard templates for my job. So far i've managed with online tutorials but i run into a wall with weldments.

I need to display 2 weldment BOM properties in one column form my drawings.

This is an example:

I need to display DESCRIPTION and STOCK NUMBER in one column, 

i.e. : "Tube 2 1/4 x 2 x 3/16"

Any idea?
Thank you.

Edit your parts list style and add a new column made up of a new iProperty that sums those two others, either as properties or parameters.

You'll probably have to use iLogic for this.

Hi! To add to Gabriel's reply, this can also be done in Assembly BOM. Instead of creating a new custom iProperty, simply use an existing unused one. Go to the assembly BOM table -> add "Title" column for example -> select all the cells in the column -> find the Expression field at the top -> insert <Description> <Stock Number>. After that it will be populated automatically. Then go to the drawing and edit the PartsList -> include the "Title" column.

Many thanks!
