BOM (in asm) not following formatting/template

Unread post by zwei »

I had been trying to insert a BOM in assembly but the formatting (TEXT FONT) seem to keep running (not following template)...

The header font was set to 8pt in the template but after insert at scale=1.0, it still run to font 11pt...

BOM insert in assembly (INCORRECT FORMATTING, TEXT too big at scale = 1.0)

Even though i had tried adjust the formatting again, but when the BOM is "COPIED" to a drawing (via copy existing table), the formatting run again...

Anyone had any idea why this happen and how to solve it?

After some debugging and trial and error,
it seem that using [pt] for the font is a bad idea, changing the font to mm seem to solve the issue.

But i am still wondering what formatting did SOLIDWORKS used when copy the BOM as it does not seem to be using document formatting setting
