How To Streamline BOM IDs in SOLIDWORKS Composer

Kali Gonzalez from MLC CAD Systems shares a tech tip on how to streamline the process of establishing Bill of Materials (BOM) IDs within SOLIDWORKS Composer. A common issue people encounter is that the BOM IDs for a project are not automatically generated or are inconsistent across different views within a Composer project. Kali demonstrates a manual method of establishing BOM IDs as neutral properties for each component in SOLIDWORKS Composer to ensure consistency across views. A more efficient approach for larger projects is to add a BOM to the SOLIDWORKS assembly file. This pre-established BOM ensures that all BOM IDs are set and consistent when the document is opened in Composer, streamlining the creation of parts lists and improving project consistency.
