eric_monceaux Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I work for a cast stone company and one of the items that have been debated is whether or not AutoCAD can generate a piece/packing list with piece labels and quantities. Entering this part list for each unit can get rather tedious. I have included a DWG basic example of what I would like to achieve.

chelsea1307 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 if you make your labels blocks, you can do a block count and know how many of each block label were used, would that help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_monceaux Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am leaning towards using the TABLE command, and list each piece label and quantity in their respective columns manually. I have looked into FIELDS, and various BOM programs, but there just doesn't seem to be anything out there that is made to quantify a units individual pieces...either that, or I just don't know exactly what to call what I am searching for. Basically it is a...cut sheet, or packing list for each individual unit. My end goal is to automate as much of the repetative processes as possible, so that we can produce a higher volumn of shop drawings. Currently we have slowed just enough to let me squeeze in some design time before the flood hits again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Can't view the *.dwg attached, check saving to another version; i.e.: 2000. Doing so would let 99.9% of the forum members see your drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_monceaux Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 My apologies...I forgot to do that. I have re-uploaded the example saved down to 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
