I have an education account. Can I add a BOM to my drawings.

When I add a BOM, the cells are there, but not pre filled.  Some do, but not the one's I filled in. see below.



Thanks for your help

    You need to fill the properties in the parts/sub-assemblies and they will populate. You can also look at the BOM panel from within the assembly and edit straight from there (in most cases, depending on where the parts are coming from and permissions/variable settings).

    Thanks eric_pesty.  I have added the to the properties and the BOM shows in the assembly and , but still won't populate the drawing.  I think I have set up something wrong in my drawing template, because the drawing scale will enter with my first insert, but will not update if I remove and replace the view. Not sure if the two are connected.  thanks for your help

    The BOM and title block will update to the first part/assembly added to the drawing. You have to edit the BOM table and/or sheet properties to point to the right assembly. Or start again.
