1. BOM Plate Description (schimbarea numelui elementului de pe lista

BOOM)

When we send our plates to sheets, it puts the plate name in the BOM using the
Name token. However, the name token for plate shows the thickness, width and
length.
Is there anyway to remove the length from the description?

You can change the name of the plates using Management

Tools application.

Follow this steps:

Open Management Tools (MT) application

Open the page Defaults

Open the category Plate / sub-category General

Search for the option Plate name

Change the rule to create the plate name --> delete the token %Length

Open a new session of AS

Please find attached a picture with the option from MT.

Please let me now if this is what you are looking for.
