BOM template inside Assembly

Hi there,

I am trying to set up a BOM template so that I can export a complete list of parts within an assembly.  What I would like to be able to do is open up an assembly, place a BOM in the assembly using a template, and then save the BOM as an excel file.

I made a template that I like (i.e. I formatted a table, and then saved it as a tempalte file), but the formatting does not get applied for subsequent BOMs that are placed in the assembly file.  The template works perfectly when I place a BOM on a drawing file, but not when placed on an assembly file.

I wondered if anyone has had any experience with this?  Any workarounds?

Thanks!

Stephen
