Sketch Dimensions in BOM

Hello OS Community,

Is it possible to link sketch dimensions of a subassembly into a BOM?  See attached mockup image.

Only with computed part properties, which requires Pro or Enterprise.

If you aren't on Pro and able to use computed properties, you could use FeatureScript to hijack an existing property, like "Description" or "Title_1" with a custom feature to show them. Here's an example.

 Here are the basic steps:

1. set the values as variables
2. make a feature that calls those variables, and converts them to a readable format (i.e. rounding them, removing the units, adding other text like "Length" etc)
3. insert the feature after the part is created and select it.

I don't know your comfort level with programming, so I may be under-explaining it. Feel free to ask for more info where needed.
