Work with properties in the Bill of Materials

Note:

This content applies if you're using a hub that has collaborative editing enabled. Check for this icon collaborative editing next to the hub name to confirm that you're using a collaborative editing hub. Learn about collaborative editing.

You can modify properties inside the Bill of Materials, provided they are not locked or read-only. Since the changes you make to properties in this way are saved to the cloud, they are retained even if you don't explicitly save your design (File > Save).

Edit a cell in the Bill of Materials

  1. In the Bill of Materials, click inside the cell you want to edit.

  2. Make your changes and press Enter.

    The small triangle save to cloud in the cell indicates that the change is being saved to the cloud.

  2. Use the context menu options to make changes.

    • Copy: Enables you to copy data from the Bill of Materials and apply it elsewhere; for example, copy a part number so you can apply it to another component in the design as a shared part number.
    • Paste: Paste clipboard contents into a cell.
    • Clear contents: Delete the contents of a cell.
Tip: You can edit properties both from inside the Bill of Materials and in the Fusion Properties dialog. Edits in one are reflected in the other in real-time.
