Hey Guys,
Has anyone ever ran into an issue where you want to edit a specific cell in a SW generated BOM, but when you double click it, Nothing happens?

I've tried deleting and re-inserting the BOM, clear temp file and rebooting, even creating a brand new part and inserting that in the assy model and it still doesn't work.

It's only the QTY. column that does this, all other columns when clicked are editable (after breaking the link, of course). Column is not locked.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

SW 2010 Sp2.1
HP XW6600 Workstation
Dual core. 8 GB RAM.
Nvidia Quartro FX 3700.

I just figured it out.

If you suppress a certain error message, it won't work.

So, do not suppress the error message that reads;
"This cell is parametrically linked to a part or assembly document...etc"

:rolleyes:

Thanks anyways
 
Years ago, Wordperfect for mac could be installed w/o serial # by suppressing the prompt for S/N.
 
mjake1966 ... That's not an error message. It's a message warning about the consequences of editing the cell.

Selecting the Do not ask me again option prevents the message from appearing every time a cell is edited.

I'm running SW2010-SP4.0 and cell editing works fine for me after the "Do not..." option is selected.

Maybe time for you to update the SP?
