Excel BOM into drawing through Windchill Cabinet

[sahmeds]

Allow adding Excel BOM into drawing through Windchill Cabinet.

I have a drawing which requires a Excel BOM added to it. I have the Excel BOM ready in Windchill Cabinet.

I tried inserting this BOM into the drawing from Windchill Cabinet by the use of Windchill Desktop Integration (64-bit) but the BOM gets downloaded into a folder under "My Documents" in the local machine.

Thus when this drawing is opened in another machine fails to get the BOM, since the drawing is referring My Documents (even though the BOM was inserted from the Windchill Cabinet)

In order to achieve the requirement, I can save the BOM excel in a network location. Therefore, whenever there are changes done to the excel, it will reflect correctly in the drawing.

But this will be good if done through windchill cabinets instead from network location.

Thanks in advance,
