Is there a way to print the sBOM in Creo Illustrate?

 

And is there a way to compare to sBOM's in Creo Illustrate - two different models?

 

Thank you.

There isn't anyway to print the sBOM directly from illustrate but you can export the sBOM as an xml file from structure edit mode (Home ribbon) and then open/print the xml file.

 

No way to compare two sBOM's either, is there a specific reason for wanting to do a compare between sBOM's rather than comparing the source data structures?

Creo View 5.1 will have the ability to compare assembly structures.

This question is in reference to the other question that I posted.

 

Since I cannot get the model to maintain state, I had hoped to compare the sBOM of the model before I added the assembly, to the one after I added the assembly.

 

That way I could compare the two and turn off the parts in the modified version that need to be turned off.

 

That will be a significant amount of work, several hundreds or thousands of parts. But at the present it seems like the only way to do it.

All we have is an sBOM.

 

Engineering outputs .pvz files from Creo® Parametric.

 

When we get the model it only has an sBOM, no eBOM.

 

As an aside, if the engineers turn off a part or a layer, that is not available to us. We cannot turn it on. It does not show in the file we receive.
