Exporting BOM Report

[DougPurtill]

Does anyone know of a way to export a bom report to an .xml or .txt format without using Toolkit?

Any other ideas for exporting BOM info?

I don't know where the commands are in Creo 1.0, but in WF5 and earlier
it's Info -> Bill of Materials. There are BOM config files that you can
use to tell Pro/E what sort of info to include and a config option to
point Pro/E to your BOM config file. Search the help for info on
configuring it, it's a bit clunky, but works well. I think it can
generate HTML files or text files.

Setting info_output_format = text is all I needed to do to accomplish what I was looking for.

For more indepth configuring you can also edit the format.bft file located the Creo 1.0\Common Files\M030\text

The location for the BOM Report in Creo is on the Model tab Investigate\Bill of Materials.
