Does the BomBoltControl setting affect the Export BOM? I know it impacts Isogen. I'm trying to get the bolts formatting on the Excel output to have the bolt set(for example, (8)) as it appears in the long description in the model.

I did a test with 4 different cfg files each having a different BomBoltControl value: 0 1 2 and 3. I ran four different BOM reports with an apply and close of each config file and got the same results.
The Export BOM report has:
5/8" STUD BOLTS CL 600 RF ASTM A193 GR B7 ZINC OR CADMIUM PLATED W2 ASTM A194 Gr 2H HEAVY HEX NUTS ZINC OR CADMIUM PLATED
Isogen description (the preferred style) output has:
(8) STUD BOLTS CL 600 RF ASTM A193 GR B7 ZINC OR CADMIUM PLATED W2 ASTM A194 Gr 2H HEAVY HEX NUTS ZINC OR CADMIUM PLATED (4 1/4" LG)
Looking for hints on how to get where I would like to be on this.

If you run the BOMSETUP command, this will bring up the menus as in the previous posts. If you are going to edit the XML directly, I would recommend making a backup.
