Quantity column headers
Shows or hides custom text and the configuration name in the header
of the quantity column. Sets the options independently for each type of BOM
(Top level Only BOM, Parts Only BOM, and Indented BOM).
| Show

Replaces the default text in the
header with text that you enter in Custom
text. For a blank header, select this option and
leave Custom text
empty. |
| Show

Adds the configuration name to the
header. |
Options

Select to limit Top-level only
BOMs to one configuration. When you change the configuration in the
BOM, the quantity column label does not change. |
| Automatic update of BOM |

add or delete components in the associated assembly. |
Combine same length cut list
items with different profiles (pre-2019
behavior)
|
Controls how cut list items are grouped in the
BOM when you change their lengths to be the same.
- Selected: Combines those same-length cut
list items even if they have different profiles. This is the
behavior used in SOLIDWORKS 2018 and earlier.
- Cleared: Combines only those same-length
cut list items with identical profiles. Cut list items with
different profiles remain separate, even if their lengths
are changed to be the same.
Turning this option on or off might
affect the behavior of existing BOMs in the active document if
you then edit the lengths of cut list items.
