Plates BoM
The Plates Bill of Materials generates a PDF document listing all plate parts for your selected constructibles.
- The header of every page: project, status, date and batch, with your logo.
- The material, finish and comment the table is for.
- One row per plate, with zone subtotals and a total.
- The plate drawings, numbered by the DWG Index of the table.
Output
- Format: PDF (single file or ZIP with multiple PDFs)
- Content: All plate parts with dimensions, quantities, materials, and optional drawings. Plates are grouped by material, finish and comment. Each group has a Clean Plates table (plain rectangles) and a Cutted Plates table (plates with cuts or openings), with rows per zone, zone subtotals and a total of gross and net area.
