Lock SW BOM

Export it out as an excel file and then bring it back in as a table.

 

Is there a way of locking a SW BOM so that it will never change?

update of bom

 

What version are you running? I have 2006 with SP 4.1 and that option is not
there.

it's there.

the drawing is required to be open to access document properties.

 

Never Mind, I found it

Thanks

 

one option, drive the order from assembly.
rmb on bom, follow assembly order.
then in assembly, hold alt key, drag components to desired order.

i've always arranged my assembly tree in this fashion, easy to find things.
alpha-numeric works well, imho.
