Send a BOM to another program
You can send, or export, a BOM in several formats, including
• HTML: Creates the current BOM as a table in your Web browser.
• MS Excel: Creates the current BOM in a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel.
• CSV: Creates a comma-separated text document that will be displayed if you have the .csv file type associated with an application. This type of file is commonly associated with a spreadsheet application.
• Creo Elements/Direct Drafting: Creates the current BOM as a table on your drawing. You will need to place position flags to correlate parts on the drawing to the BOM to complete the table.
 |
When you send BOM data to Creo Elements/Direct Annotation or Creo Elements/Direct Drafting, Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager displays Total Qty values as Modeled Qty (instead of the Modeled Qty values displayed in Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager) in order to maintain compatibility with older BOM data.

The output from a Structured report shows the BOM "as expanded". The content of assemblies that are not expanded will not appear in the report.
