In Creo Illustrate, you can export or import an sBOM XML file that contains a valid sBOM XML document. This XML document encodes the sBOM tree, figures, and Item Lists for an illustration.

If you export an sBOM XML file, you can edit it and then import it to update your illustration. You can also create a new sBOM XML file and then import it as a template for new illustrations. When you import an sBOM XML file, Creo Illustrate creates or modifies the illustration sBOM tree. It also generates any figures and Item Lists defined in the sBOM XML document markup.
