This is a hook for extracting all the BOM variants from a given OrCAD Schematic object. Note that it requires the Variant_Hook.tcl script to operate.
This batch file writes a custom TCL script and executes it to extract the BOM data for Variants only. OOTB, there is no provided way to extract this variant data automatically during checkin of OrCAD schematic objects. This script will output a CSV for each variant design with the appropriate bill of material which could be used for automatically driving a BOM process. It can be easily configured to extract more or less component properties into the CSV for futher creation of new components into Windchill automatically.
Question:
The Variant_Hook refers to
package provide capCISDump 1.0
Is this available somewhere?
Yes, this package is provided by the TCL script i posted up next to this hook. Variant_Hook.tcl
Let me know if it gives problems.
