Can we use FS to set the "Exclude from BOM" property.

Hi folks.

I have a part studio that uses configurations to create a laminated material.



I have the configuration table set a sensible PN and name description for just the first layer of the laminate but I'd like to exclude all the other layers from the BOM.  Rather than set many values in a table for each config option I thought I'd use FS to set the exclude from BOM property.

setProperty(context, {<br>                    "entities" : definition.bodies,<br>                    "propertyType" : PropertyType.Exclude from BOM,

The auto complete doesn't seem to show such a setting, so my Q is  "is this property exposed to FS?".

Thanks for your time,

    That's fine, I think it's simple enough that I'll just add it (not next release, but "coming soon").

    This should be available as of the update we pushed yesterday (make sure you use the latest version of std).

    Thanks again, 60 seconds of featurescript and I now have BOMs in "sensible mode".

    Thanks Neil. 

    Is there anyone's desk that I can bribe you to loom over to make it happen? :p (As a future release, please don't go to any trouble today.)

    I think the best looming may actually be creating an IR for this.
