3D pdf with associative BOM

[Mazyk]

in our firm we are struggling now for a while to make a explode drawing and have a associative BOM along side. we know that there are a few companies who have a software solution but I think that the creo could have this think built in.

So what we want:

explosion with BOM ballons, BOM table, and when you click on balloon, a line in table colors and vice versa. 

If you could make a table with out own part/assembly parameters it would be great.

I found this 2 threads online and we basicly want this (just creo, this is SW):

That PDF had a bunch of errors and crashed my Adobe Acrobat. Did anyone else experience that?

[Mazyk]

I havo adobe acrobat reader DC, version 2018.11.20036, works fine everytime. also with the biggest assembly which is 16Mb.

Maybe a problem in your pdf reader?

It certainly depends on Javascript and probably on Flash. It eventually died for me, taking out a bunch of other documents I was reading. Sigh.

It is not 'built in' to Creo.

[Mazyk]

well, is it a functionality of a software from creo family - like illustrate or something?

All,

Creo does not have any functionality close to this. we were in the same boat and needed this type of ability to move to MBD so we actually implemented Anark. Was that PDF from built in functionality of SolidWorks?
