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.

So is this an update to the source data you are importing?

IE; you have created an illustration with figures (hence the hiding parts) but the CAD data has been updated and it is when you import this update that the parts that were hidden in the figures are now visible again.

 

If this is not the case could you give me a detailed breakdown of the workflow you are following so I can try to understand what is happening.

Also let me know what version/edition (is it essentials).

 

Thanks
