2019 Cadworx structure plate in BOM - 05/05/20 12:29 PM

I need better descriptions in my structure BOM.

For grating I was hoping to add "area" to the long description in the
SPRJ so the area come in with the long description as I do not want area for all components. I am needing to get the description more descriptiveso it can be quoted form. One back up option is I could add 36" wide to the description and model acordingly so only the length is required.

For plate I was wanting to add width to the long description to get: (PL-1/2" x 4" x 12") as I do not want to add width to all BOM components. I do not see width in the long description format (image below)

I'd like to hear what everyone else is doing with the SPRJ & SCAT.

What plate insertion method are you using ? Base plate insertion will automatically append the length/width. Grating not so much.

I am using Structural plate (usually selecting PLINE shapes) for gussets and lift lugs, basically for any mitered, circular, or angular cuts of plate.

You are correct the base plate having PL-1/2x12"x12", but you are limited to rectangular shapes, but that is wat I am needing in the structural plate descriptions.
