Another technique that some people use is place a space in the column header for QTY right before the text...but I am not a big fan of this. If you have any future questions, please don't hesitate to ask. :) Hi Wayne,

I tried three options in SW 2008 SP4.0, but I can not make it happen.<br>2. for limited cell space, if the content is too more, I hope I can separate it into more than one rows, but with only one balloon No. do you guys have any idea? thank you very much! at first, thank you for your idea, I have two questions for BOM in SW,

As a new user of Solidworks 2008, I've found the information in your blog invaluable. Thanks for all the great tips! I have a question about the procedure for modifying properties in the BOM. You state that

“All of the cells that are linked to the custom properties of a part are now bi-directional.”

When I double-click on a cell I am presented with a dialog box that just says :

“The cell value(s) has a nested link to a part or an assembly document and cell edit will not propagate. Manually overriding the value will sever this link. (To restore the link in the future, delete the user-defined text from the cell.)

Continue editing the cell?”

Is there an option or setting I need to enable to allow editing of part properties from the BOM?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Shane
