How to generate Ducting BOM

NOTE
The Mech-Q Ducting BOM, you must first set the "BOM/List/Dev - Active" ON -  before you draw any ducting objects.

You can turn the "BOM/List/Dev - Active" option ON after you select 'Options" in the Mech-Q Straight Duct module

After you finish adding duct objects in the drawing - start the auto-BOM fuction as follows:
>> Start the HVAC Duct (Straight duct) and then select the "BOM" tab.

>> The "Duct BOM Selector and Settings" dialogue will be displayed. Here you can choose which ducting items are included in the BOM ("BOM to include"); Fields to include in the BOM table ("BOM Fields") and  option to include BOM Balloons.

>> Selecting the "OK" tab will save your setting and then display the "Mech-Q BOM Configuration" dialogue. Here you can change the table row height & table text height and several other BOM settings.

>> Select the "Apply" tab to proceed with BOM table generation process. The program will prompt you for the BOM table insertion point, then if you had selected to have BOM balloons - the program will take you from one item to another - to locate the BOM balloons and at the same time auto-build the BOM table.
