First up, thanks for the great app and te detailed explanations. I have another
BOM related question: I have a BOM that does not fit on a single page, but the
main reason is that the NXT and other large elements (e.g. motors ) appear at
the end of the BOM and take up the same width as a single technic pin.
- Is there a way to selectively reduce the size of specific elements?
- Can I force a part to appear firt in the BOM (or any PLI for that matter?
- Can I hide a specific part from the pli?
