Adds a "Quantity" property for each component in assembly, including all components in subassemblies. By default task does not calculate excluded from BOM and suppressed components. They could be added in task options.
- Toolbox components are ignored.
- Task calculates the components on in all subassemblies but an option could be chosen to calculate components only on top level.
- If previously the property with quantity was added then user has an option to append newly calculated quantity to existing property.
- Task has an option to duplicate the property for all derived configurations which is useful for sheet metal and weldment components.
- Task works with SolidWorks assembly documents [*.SLDASM]
