Automatic BOM indexing

Unread post by CAD_73 »

Is there a way to simply divide the Automatic BOM indexing?

Like sometimes you need a second view for the parts that aren't visible, but that's only for 2 parts.
I wonder if it's possible to divide them?

so you have 1 bom and your indexing 2 views. the automatic should work fine and not duplicate an index. it should label every visible part in the first view and then the remaining parts on the second view you just got to use the automatic function twice

Hi Todd, you're right, it works like a charm.

But the only thing is most of the times I have around 40 indexes (very crowded) in the first view and only 2 in the second.
It could give more space if you good divide it.
