smansell Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I am experiencing the BOM being about 1/10 of the size that it should be. All i need to update, and it goes back to designated size. But it can be only 1 BOM on 1 page in the middle of a number of pages. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IronKevin Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 smansell, This sounds like a problem that we will need to see the file to be of help. Can you send the .icd and .ics to support@ironcad.com or post it here? IK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Allen Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 This problem has been around for years - it involves "Update all Views" and saving when not looking at the BOM. 1) Create a new scene. Add parts. 2) Create a new drawing. Add at least one sheet. 3) Create a General view from your scene on Sheet 1 (this may also work with standard views, but I haven't tested it.) 4) Create a BOM from your scene on Sheet 2 5) Go to Sheet 1 & Update all Views 6) Save the drawing. 7) Priint - Page Range=All The BOM either prints out about 10x too big or 10x too small. Here's the workaround: After doing Update All Views, go to each sheet that contains a BOM, double-click the BOM & hit the "Zoom to current sheet scale" button. Then print & save. I know I've reported this behavior to IronCAD tech support several times over the years - and at least once to this forum. Strangely enough, I can't turn up any topics by searching for BOM. bom_test.icd bom_test.ics bom_test.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IronKevin Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for the clarification Mike, we do have that one listed: http://www.ironcad.com/support/community/i...4&hl=BOM++scale IK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smansell Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for the clarification Mike, we do have that one listed: http://www.ironcad.com/support/community/i...4&hl=BOM++scale IK 16150[/snapback] Thanks. Previously i have been either updating all views or just updating the BOM, and mostly it resizes, but the "Zoom to Current Sheet Scale" button i am sure will be a better way. Does that mean that once the "Zoom to Current Sheet Scale" button is done for all BOM's, and then the drawing is saved, that the BOM will always behave? (Sorry about the incorrect Forum section, i tried to shift it to "General Discussions" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IronKevin Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I just right-click and Update each BOM prior to printing, that seems to be working. IK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
