SolidWorks 2009 has been out long enough now that most of the “major” enhancements have probably been talked about on quite a few sites across the web. Here’s an enhancement that I have noticed hasn’t gotten much press. That enhancement is the ability to restructure Bills of Materials (BOM) in Drawings.
This video tip will show a simple example of this new capability that for some companies could be a game changer. I know that is an awfully big statement, but think about a situation where for assembly speed reasons, sub-assemblies are used in SolidWorks, yet build procedures call for parts and assemblies to be grouped differently. This functionality can support these instances. I’ve only tested it on a few assemblies, but it seems to work very well and is pretty easy to pick up. Click on the link below to see the Video Tip.

I'm glad you found the video useful. I was a bit surprised that no one commented on it when I posted it. I think this new functionality will benefit many users out there.
