1. A Bill Of Material (BOM) is usually a table that includes specific information about the assembly or sub-assembly shown in the drawing.
2. The type of information listed in the BOMs is open for the generator. The information listed often refers to the practice of the firm producing the bill, or else it follows a client's requirement. Common information found in a BOM would include names of parts, part numbers, the quantity of each part, costs, storage location, vendor, building material, and any other information related to the assembly at hand.
3. Linked information refers to information inputted within the native SOLIDWORKS files. It also refers to assembly features such as the quantity of each part existing within an assembly. That linked information can be input into the BOMs automatically. We can also input any information we desire to our bill manually. That information is unlinked.
