Creating a Parts List

The information associated with the detail bubbles can be included in a worksheet which automatically generates a parts list.

To create a parts list:

1.	Once the detail bubble record information has been completed, select Tools > Reports > Create Parts List.

2.	With the bull’s-eye cursor, click in the drawing to place a Parts List worksheet.

Alternatively, select the appropriate parts list worksheet object with the Resource Browser from [VectorWorks]\Libraries\Defaults\Drawing Border - Title Blocks\ASME Title Blocks.vwx. Double-click the appropriate parts list worksheet object in the Resource Browser to place the worksheet graphic object.

The Parts List-1 worksheet object is formatted to fit the ASME title blocks for ASME A, B, and C and ISO A2, A3, A4, and A5 drawing sizes. The Parts List-2 worksheet object is formatted to fit the ASME title blocks for ASME D, E, and F, and ISO A0 and A1 drawing sizes.

3.

Double-click on the worksheet, or select Window > Worksheets > Parts List to open the worksheet. From the worksheet menu, select Recalculate. The record information from the detail bubbles automatically fills the worksheet, and all calculations are performed. For more information on worksheets, see Using Worksheets.

4.	Close the worksheet. The worksheet graphic object on the drawing reflects the changes.

5.	Reopen the worksheet and select Recalculate from the worksheet menu to update the worksheet when any changes are made to the record information.
