I have created a Parts list for an Assembly in OpenBom, why cant i put the BOM created into my Onshape Assembly Drawing?
utterly ridiculous that you set up an app to creates BOMs then omit to tell folk how to put it into there onshape drawing.
I have watched your tutorials regarding OpenBom it shows nothing on how to add it into your drawing. Absolute con this app

Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, for the moment, you cannot put BOM into Onshape drawing. We are working together with Onshape development to provide a way to insert BOM in the drawing.
I learned from some of our users about following workaround - create a snapshot from opemBOM BOM and insert it in Onshape drawing as a picture.
I hope we will be able to provide a better solution soon.

Thank you for understanding. We are working to make it happen.

We are working on openBoM support for OS drawing. It will be coming soon.
Contact me oleg @ openbom [dot] com.
I will be able to show a preview how we do it.
