Annotating a Slope in a Drawing

You can annotate slopes in pipe drawings by adding Slope as a custom property to the Bill of Materials.

1. From a pipe drawing, right-click the Bill of Materials and select Insert > Column.
2. In the Column Type dialog box, select Slope for Property Name.

   A column for Slope is added to the BOM. Pipe segments that contain slopes are listed in the BOM.

   If you are using a customized BOM template, you need to add Slope as a custom property. See SolidWorks Help: Bill of Materials - Custom Properties.

3. Right-click in the drawing view and select Annotations > Pipe Slope.
4. Left-click Pipe Slope and select one of the following slope angle annotations:
   • Up...
   • Down...
   • Inverted Down...
   • Inverted Up...
