CADWorx Structure tab: Bill of Material panel > Run > Total

Command line: BOMTOTAL

Generates a Bill of Material schedule with one tag for a total length of members in each size. Identical long annotation items are accumulated in the length column. For example, if you select two W14X74 components that are both 120 feet long, the BOM looks like this:

TOTAL WEIGHT: 1480.00

Bill of material lengths are based on DIMLFAC, DIMDEC, and DIMLUNIT.

Counter

Select this option to start the tag counter at any positive nonzero integer. When set, the command resumes requesting that you pick Manual placement or Automatic placement of tags.

Manual placement

Select to insert tags manually. You are prompted for the tag location. The software adds a rubber band line attached to the component extending to the specified tag location. You must continue specifying locations until the last component’s tag has been placed.

Automatic placement

Select to have CADWorx insert tags automatically. In model space, CADWorx places the tag in the direction (tag to component) provided. In paper space, this prompt does not appear if the tag optimization is on. For more information, see Bill of Material Settings.

CADWorx performs special optimization for automatic tag placement while in paper space only. This optimization places tags in non-overlapping positions and is controlled by the Optimize variable in the current settings.
