Non-Integer values in QTY field on Assembly BOM

Non-Integer values in QTY field on Assembly BOM

Anonymous
Not applicable

I would like to see the Static Value in the QTY field on a Structured BOM in an assembly file be allowed to enter a Non-Integer value (Decimal - E.G. 12.857) instead of a Integer value (E.G. 12) only.  This is a static value only, why is that qty field only allowed to have integer values. 

 

My case for this is my company uses raw materials in house and we need to calculate raw material values to a decimal point and be able to transfer that information to our ERP system.  The Non-Integer values would be a great addition to the Inventor program to allow for seamless transfers of information.

Hi,

 

You need to change de bom quantity settings in the document settings of the file.

Thank you very much for that bit of information. I dug a little more into that how the document settings work and got the answer I was looking for.
