Bills of material on overview drawings

The existing Insert a list command has been modified so that you can now create bills of material on overview drawings. The command name in the Ribbon has been changed to Insert a drawing list and you can find it in the same location as before - Labels & Dimensions tab > Management panel :

The workflow for creating the list is the same as in the previous versions of the software - in an overview drawing, after you access the command in the Ribbon, you need to select the position of the list with two mouse clicks representing the first and second point of the list's diagonal.

After you set the position, the list properties window appears. In the list properties window you need to select a list template.

Once you have chosen the template, close the properties window and use the Update lists command from the Ribbon to populate the list with the requested values.

Note: In case of a partial overview that has been created using a drawing style that uses the Complete model or Complete model with Xrefs options in Model objects selection (from the Drawing Style Manager), bills of material created on this view will contain all the objects from the model, not only the ones included in the Detail box.

Bills of material created for this type of partial overview will have a warning text placed at the bottom, explaining that the content of the bill is inconsistent with the content of the partial overview. This text is part of the bill of material, sharing the same text style and moving together with the list. It cannot be removed.

If the detail style uses the Detail box or Detail box with Xrefs option, the bill of material will not have this text attached to it.

Note: The quantities shown in the list for single parts are total quantities. In case of a partial overview, the quantity displayed in the list for each single part will be the total quantity existing in the model for that part, even if not all these identical objects are present in the view.

Note: In case of an un-numbered model, all quantities shown in the list are singular.

Note: When the drawing contains both Mainpart details and Single part details, the bill of material created for the entire drawing will contain only the elements from the Mainpart detail.

Note: When the drawing contains both Mainpart details and Overviews, the bill of material created for the entire drawing will contain only the elements from the Mainpart detail. If you want to create a Bill of material for the overview, you can use the Insert a details list command.

Note: When the drawing contains both Single part details and Overviews the bill of material contains all the elements from these views.
