Setting the properties of the product and its constituent parts

General procedure for setting properties

The values of the properties of the product are located in the cells of the first row of the table on the Product BOM panel, while the values of the properties of the constituent parts of the product are located in the cells of the remaining rows. In most cells, values are entered using the keyboard. They become available for input after double-clicking.

Property cells Developed, Checked, Approved, Technical control, Quality control, Signed and Letter have an icon on the right side . After clicking on it, a user menu to select a row, the text of which will become the property value. Arbitrary text entry in the listed cells is also available.

The icon is also available in the property cell Parameter unspecified roughness, but for this property it allows invoking the dialog for setting the roughness value, see further.

An additional way to assign a property value is to create a reference. To create a link, select the cell of the desired property with a single mouse click, invoke the Insert Link command from the context menu, and configure the link parameters in the appearing window of the dialog. Some properties cannot obtain values by reference — for them, the Insert link command is unavailable.

Note that certain properties cannot be edited on the Product BOM Panel — the corresponding cells have a gray background (see illustration).For example, the value of the property Accuracy Class cannot be set in the Product BOM Panel for either the product itself or its constituent parts (The accuracy class is selected in the section General Tolerances of the settings dialog); the Quantity property can only be set for subassemblies, not for the product, and the Authorproperty, conversely, can only be set for the product, not for its components.

The procedure and notes on entering individual property values

The procedure and the notes on entering the values of individual properties on the Product BOM panel are shown in the table. Values not listed in the table of properties are set in the usual way — as described above.

The procedure and notes on configuring the property values on the Product BOM toolbar
