  1. From the Annotation tab, select the Tables drop-down menu and select the Bill of Materials, as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. Then, select the view for the model that you want to create the BOM for. Since both the drawing views are the same, we can click on either of them.

  1. After that, a standard BOM will be generated and displayed in our drawing sheet. We can place the bill on the sheet to get the drawing sheet shown in the following diagram. We can adjust the table location by dragging it:

This concludes how to generate a standard BOM. This will be our usual first step whenever we generate a BOM. Next, we will be working on adjusting the information in our bill to match the bill that was shown earlier in this chapter.
