Enhancements:

  • AM_BOM command - AM_BOM command allows users to create, edit, delete and set the current Bill of Materials.
    On the 2023 SP0 release, the command was improved to support the following features:

    • Support Export/Import BOM CSV file

    • Create a Part reference for a user-defined item from BOM Items List

    • Create a Part List from BOM dialog

    • Create Balloons from BOM Dialog

    • Zoom and Highlight items on BOM

    • Merge row, Split row, Add Column and Add row

  • BOM Settings - On current release, BOM Settings allow users to configure the properties for Part Reference, and on the next releases it will be expanded to set the properties on Bill of Material, Parts List and Balloons. Dialog box can be accessed via the Part Reference command
    The following operations are covered by BOM Settings dialog:

    • Displays the component properties that are visible in the Part Reference dialog box.

    • Synchronizes the component properties list with the available component properties list.

    • Users can select from a list of additional pre-defined component properties to add to the Available component properties list.

    • Add a new component property to the available component properties list, and delete specific component property from the list.

  • Mechanical Standards - We now provide templates for ANSI, BSI, DIN, ISO and JIS standards, which are compatible with AutoCAD Mechanical.

    • Active standard is saved in the drawing and it affects the appearance of mechanical symbols and parts.

    • AM_STANDARDS command can be used to change and display the standard of the current drawing.“No active standard” checkbox was removed.
