We are interfacing Bill of Materials from CAD / SolidWorks to IFS Engineering Structures by using CADlink. However, for components expressed in for example Length instead of Pieces, both CAD/SolidWorks and CADlink have different fields to differentiate between Quantity and Length. Where IFS's Engineering / Product Structures only use the field Quantity per Assembly (in combination with the Unit of Measure).

I understood that in CADlink, the quantity is based on the quantity of the component in the 3d model / drawing. And therefore can not be changed in CADLink. Therewith it seems to interface the quantity, while actually in IFS we would need the Length.

Does anyone recognize this issue, and knows how this was resolved in your situation?

Thanks in advance!
