Sets the settings that apply to a bill of material when you run Total, Single, or Cut

Schedule

  • Up Bill Of Material ICON Structure Up

Places the bill of materials schedule in the upward direction with the column headings at the bottom.

  • Down Bill of Material ICON Structure Down

Places the bill of materials schedule in the downward direction with the column headings at the top.

  • Text Size

Specifies the size of the text in the bill of material schedule.

  • Spacing

Controls the spacing on the bill of material schedule.

  • Bolt Control

Specifies bolt placement in the CADWorx Plant bill of material schedules.

  • 0

Places the quantity for a set in the pre-CADWorx 2002 format, such as:

QUANTITY = 4, ALPHA_SIZE = 3/4", LONG_DESC = (8) Studs with nuts.

  • 1

Places the quantity for total bolts, and strips the set number from the long description, such as:

QUANTITY = 32, ALPHA_SIZE = 3/4", LONG_DESC = Studs with nuts.

  • 2

Places the quantity for a set, the alpha size based on the flange size, and appends the bolt diameter to the long description, such as:

QUANTITY = 4, ALPHA_SIZE = 12", LONG_DESC = (8) 3/4" Studs with nuts.

  • 3

Places the quantity for total bolts, strips the set number from the long description, places the alpha size based on the flange size, and appends the bolt diameter to the long description, such as:

QUANTITY = 32, ALPHA_SIZE = 12", LONG_DESC = 3/4" Studs with nuts.

When this option is set to 1 or 3, the long description of the bolt must contain the number of bolts in the set enclosed by parenthesis. The software uses the value in parenthesis as the new quantity. The number is then automatically removed from the long description when displayed in the material list.

Tags

  • Grid Factor

Controls the bill of material tag grid density on the drawing.

When you set Optimize to 2, you can set the Grid Factor to 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0.

  • Optimize

Specifies the tagging algorithm used for the bill of material.

  • 0

The tagging algorithm is off.

  • 1

The algorithm is on, but does not stack any tags.

  • 2

The algorithm is on, but only works on pipe.

  • Radius Factor

Controls the radius of tag bubbles. Bubbles are sized using this factor multiplied by the CAD platform setvar TEXTSIZE.

  • Spacing Factor

Controls how far bill of materials bubbles are spaced from the model or components within the drawing.

  • Weight and Area Precision

Controls the number of decimal places that display on the Bill of Material for both Weight and Area measurements.
