Names in a Configuration Table
I have a part studio where I have a series of dowel pins in a configuration table. The Name column has the different sizes listed depending on the configuration but the Part Name is 'Dowel Pin'
I then insert the different sizes into an assembly.....all works well. When I come to create the BOM the names of the Dowel Pins is 'Dowel Pins' and my question is, how can I show/differentiate the different configurations in the BOM and not just many parts named 'Dowel Pins'.
The same issue occurs when I use the call out tool in a drawing. This is remedied by typing in the size into the callout box but it is time consuming when you have a lot of pins to rename.

Use configured properties in the configuration panel to give parts different names for different configurations.
