Wire Length Calculation

I'm trying to create a battery cable (1 conductor) with ring terminals on each end.  I've set the strip length for the ring terminals.  In Formboard, when I place a connection and a wire between the ring terminals, and set the segment (manufacturing & display length), the strip lengths are not added to the BOM wire qty.  Only the defined segment length shows up in the BOM.  

I must be missing something in the creation of my ring terminal component?  I can't see any difference between my ring terminal (component type was "connector" when I made the ring terminal as a new component) and any other connector in the HB library...

Thanks,

Doug

  Hi Doug,

  There should be a check box or yes/no to turn on add strip length to total length in the BOM/Pricing section of the HB.

  Give that a shot and let me know.

  I take that back, it's in the wire table section. 

  Let us know if that fixes it in the BOM though. We may need to dig deeper.
