Hi all,
I am working on a data retrieval/CAD automation project, and currently I am using a combination of python with Creoson to extract bom data from Creo. Unfortunately, my company's CAD data is crawling with ghost parts which end up getting included in the output data and I haven't been able to come up with a good solution for filtering them out.
I am able to find them manually via the find command as shown:
The problem with this is that I have to manually go in and pick the parts using the feature info command or hover my mouse over to get the comp id and manually build a list that I can then use to filter the bom output.
I would prefer if there were:
- A method to include the criteria I'm using in the find command to filter the output from Creoson's bom_get_paths function.
- A method to export the results of the find command with the comp id to an external file that I could read back into my python script to filter by.
- Or should I be working on cleaning out these ghost components. (Not something that I want to tackle at the moment as we have some 15k asm's).
I am using Creo version 8.0.3.0
Creoson version 2.9.0
Creopyson version 0.7.7
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
