Swx 2004 BOM Feature

yes.

you can't do it.

(at least not without writing your own code.)

And yes, that is really stupid. You have to make an Excel BOM in order to export it.

And don't even get me started on the MSExcel _requirement_ for SW.

p.s. MSOffice2000 support ends next year?! WTF?

I don't know if I correctly understood your question but if you want to export the contents of your BOM, you simply have to select your BOM, then go to File->Save As and select csv or txt.

Hope this helps

The issue is automating the save steps. It looks to me that you have to read each line and the input it into excel or whatever.

Hi Eric,

For what it's worth, the new bom can be saved to CSV (or even better space delimited- better if you have commas in a field) by selecting the table and doing a "save as" from the file menu.

If there is a larger programming need other than just getting space or comma delimited from a BOM, then that's another story (I'm no use here).

Hi Eric,

Please look at our ToolWorks BOM Manager product for SolidWorks:

are you sure about this? Our VAR said you can't do this?

-nick e.

How dare your VAR try to prohibit me from doing this! They don't even know me.

Actually it will do CSV and what they call TXT which appears to be tab-delimited, or at least reads in as such - I promise. Perhaps you refer to space delimited, which if I need space I can find lots of it between my ears - - - this it looks like it cannot do.

Please tell your VAR to stop judging me, please . . .

BIG SMILE

first off, *I* am the one doing the judging. :)

the other guy at work called the var and asked if there was some way to export the new BOM to a spreadsheet.

I'll check at work tomorrow, but maybe the VAR is just doofus?

Maybe I can charge the VAR for training HIM?

w00t!
