Export BOM
Export BOM |
|
For exporting BOM data or the BOM itself to the Excel file (xls), the command “BS: Export BOM” is used:
Keyboard |
Textual Menu |

|---|---|---|
<BS> |
«Tools|Bill of Materials|Export…» |
|
After calling this command, the dialog window with the list of export options appears on the screen. From the list the user can select the export of BOM table and export of BOM data.
When exporting the BOM table, only the contents of the BOM table is transferred to the Excel document. The sequence and the composition of columns in the table, the row sequence, etc. are retained. When exporting the BOM data to the Excel document, all internal data, on the basis of which the BOM was created, is transferred. All sorting rules and rules for combining the records, used in the BOM, are ignored. The result of the export operation will be different from the initial BOM appearance in the T-FLEX CAD document. |

If the original T-FLEX CAD document contains several BOM, the result of the export operation will be the multipage Excel document. Each BOM is exported to a separate page (sheet).
The export is carried out by macros located in the folder “…/Program/BOMExport”. If necessary, for exporting BOM to different formats, the user can add his own macros to this folder.
