Getting Started Creating a BOM XML File
To start creating a BOM XML file, do one of the following actions:
• Export an illustration that contains connected callouts to an BOM-type Object List text file. (See To Export an Object List for use as a BOM XML File.)
• Copy the BOM XML example markup in this topic and paste it in a text editor. Save the text file as XML, and then edit elements to match the callouts and graphic objects in your illustration.
