I’ve got an Idea. Let’s all track the excitement of life in a spreadsheet, create a spreadsheet of that spreadsheet and then send it to everyone to create their own spreadsheet. BRILLIANT!
Spreadsheet are about the most overused office ‘tool’ we use to quickly capture information in an understandable format *chuckles – shakes head – hits a monkey*. We use them a lot, usually because we would have to spend money on other tools for the same results. They’re one of those things called a necessary evil.
I abhor them vehemently. What about you? And if they’re so handy, what do you use them for?
Shhhh, in all actuality, this will not only show you how to add custom lengths to a Bill of material (BOM), but will allow you to harness the almighty power of custom properties in SolidWorks. It’s quick, it’s easy and it’s this week’s two-minute Tut.
Stop your clikcin’ and a’drawin’ there for a few seconds. There’s a way to make your SolidWorks drawing experience much more enjoyable and your Bill of Material manipulation a whole lot easier.
