Prod can create a BOM with one click. In SolidWorks, when creating a BOM table, all BOM fields, except for “quantity”, are derived from the file attributes of sub-parts or sub-assemblies.
In SWTDO, the command for creating a BOM is called the Prod system
In the settings of the Prod system, there are two aspects regarding the BOM field:
- First, it is extraction. Prod specifies a collection of extraction field names, which can be 10 attributes, 20 attributes, or any number of attributes.Here is a definition: these 10 or 20 attributes are called “basic properties set”
- Secondly, preset assignment allows for setting the predetermined initial value of a field, such as “sw-mass”, which is the built-in mass formula in Solidworks. However, it is important to note that assigning properties to parts is not done by Prod, but rather by property formatting. In other words:
The setting of Prod is the parent command for attribute formatting
Prod can create a BOM with one click because of attribute formatting, which allows for one-time assignment of all sub-components, including sub-assemblies and sub-parts, under the assembly. Such as SW-mass, sw-Material, or density, or designer’s name, company name, material code, and so on.
由于不同的企业的solidworks设计师，对于属性列的需求是不同的（也就是bom表的列是不同的），正是由于基本属性集群可以任意预设，所以swtdo的prod系统，可以对任意企业，任意需求的bom表，只要做过预设，就可以一键赋值，一键提取。
