SOLIDWORKS PDM stores references to file properties in the database.
References include:
- Reference Count (computed quantities), which can be overwritten in computed BOMs
- Referenced properties, such as values of selected variables
You can edit referenced variables that are displayed in computed BOMs after checking out the associated assemblies.
Your administrator can change the name of the Reference Count column in a BOM. See your administrator to find out which column represents part quantities or other referenced variables.
