Fixed Corners in BricsCAD Mechanical BOM Tables Explained

Quick answer: Any corner of a BOM table can be set as fixed, confirming and expanding the Fixed corner option covered on this hub’s BOM Manager page. A fixed corner keeps its initial position through every BOM update; if you move the table manually, that corner’s new position becomes the one that’s preserved going forward. This makes it easy to keep a BOM table aligned with other objects in the drawing.

Setting a Fixed Corner During Placement

Choose which corner to fix while placing the table, using either BMBOM or the BOM Manager panel; press Tab to cycle through the available corners.

Changing the Fixed Corner

Change an existing table’s fixed corner directly in the BOM Manager panel.
