Woodwork for Inventor Materials Tip – Have you applied them all?

There are times when you have parts in your assembly that do not have W4i materials assigned. Sometimes this is as designed but sometimes if parts have been mirrored for example they will look like they have the W4i materials applied but W4i is lying to you. You probably won’t find out until you export your BOM specification and worse miss them altogether. Especially if it’s just 1 or 2 parts.

To check you have them covered, enable the W4i BOM setting check for “Normal” type parts without Woodwork materials.

Run the Woodwork BOM Specification tool and if you have any parts without materials you will be told. Without this enabled you will never know!
