Allow Filtering BOM Fields
In the Report Definition file you can define a new section to allow the filtering of the fields in the BOM so all components will show on the BOM but allow some fields to be filtered out.
For Example:
The following line would export the SIZE2 for all components except for bolts. But all other fields will display.
COLUMN = 7 : R : SIZE2 : EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_BOLT
Avoidance
Currently there is no way to filter out the size for just bolts but the BOM report can be setup to have a separate bolt section that will mix in with the full BOM.
Removed bolts from the FLD report
REPORT = FLD
# this to include only field items
INCLUDE = IE_FIELD=1
EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_WELD|CT_BOLT
Create a new report section that is a copy of the FLD report. Rename the report to blt and remove the header text.
REPORT = blt
# this to include only field items
INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_BOLT|IE_FIELD=1
COLUMN = 3: R : PARTID
COLUMN = 19: R : QUANTITY
COLUMN = 7: R : SIZE1
COLUMN = 7: R :
COLUMN = 2: :
COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT
GROUP = PARTID
SORT = PARTID:N
SEP = @
SORTHEADERS = 1
END
Add the blt section under the fld section.
REPORT = combi
WRITE = shp
TEXT = @
TEXT = @
WRITE = fld
WRITE = blt
NODE = 60
END
