Tools That Can Be Used For Counting
Structured Way
- The simplest method of obtaining a complete bom, line by line, is to export parts in a FreeCAD document, and simply count them.
- For this to work, the part names must be structured in an understandable way, such as "8 mm Screw #" such that every time it is copied, it appears as: "8 mm Screw #0",
- Check out what happens when you copy a part:
- The count appears readily by observing the last number.
