IsoAlgo can produce a customised Material List. The Material List columns maybe selected from one attribute of the component. 

You can specify the material list datum position on the drawing. The entries in the material list are numbered sequentially, 

each entry contains the material’s description, nominal size, item code and quantity. 

You can customize the material list by modify the IsoAlgoConfig.xml:

First, you specify the character size and the line spacing percent of the material list;

Second, specify the material list datum position on the drawing, modify the X and Y value for the ListDatum. 

The IsAscending is used to control the material list direction. If the IsAscending is true, 

the material list ‘s part number from 1 to N is from up to the bottom, 

else the material list’s part number from 1 to N is from bottom to the up.
