Ilogic to add custom iproperty columns to bill of materials in assemblies

[BrandonW9]

Howdy... i'm just wondering if i can use ilogic to "Add custom iProperty columns" to the bill of materials.

The screenshot attached clarifies the function i'm talking about.

Hi BrandonW9,

This would be something done through iLogic using the API.

See this link:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

I don't think so.

But you can add them to one file, set the appearance of the BOM how you like it by dragging files, then export that customization to an xml file. Then you can use a rule like the following to import that into whatever assembly you want, and it will have those rows exposed, and be ordered to look like the customization file:

Sub Main()

	Dim oADoc As Document
	oADoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
	
	Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument
	
	If oADoc.DocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject
		oDoc = oADoc
	Else If oADoc.DocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject
		Try
			oDoc = oADoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingViews.Item(1).ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
		Catch
			MsgBox("LOD in use in drawing; Macro failed!")
		End Try
	Else
		MsgBox("Invalid Document!")
	End If

	
	Dim oBOM As BOM
	oBOM = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.BOM

	
	oBOM.ImportBOMCustomization("Z:\BOM_Style.xml")
	
	oBOM.StructuredViewEnabled = True
	oBOM.StructuredViewFirstLevelOnly = False
	
	oBOM.PartsOnlyViewEnabled = True

End Sub

Tks you save my time.

Are these fields going to be there ALL the time? If so, why not open the assembly template, add them to the Bill of Materials, then if that fields needs to be filled out and you fill it out in the Bill of materials for a specific part, and those fields dont exist, when you hit save, it automatically adds them. You could also add them to the part templates custom iproperties, so every time you start a new part they are there.  Just a thought.
