Chart style map of BOM from Windchill

[egifford]

I have a user that would like to get a BOM report that essentially looks like a org chart done in Visio. I've shown him how simple it is to get a fully nested / indented BOM. However he prefers a more graphical chart to print out and mark up as a tool to track changes, work he's completed, and what he has left to do etc. Is there a report in Windchill OOTB or something easily configured that can generate this?

Windchill 10 M030

Pro/E Wildfire 4 M220

Thanks,

Erik

Erik,

I see that you are on Windchill 10.0 - but maybe the easiest is an update to 10.1 where there is the Relationship Explorer: http://communities.ptc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-2227-30209/Easily+view+interconnected+product+information+with+the+Relationship+Explorer.png

Since this is a new feature don't expect something too polished regarding printing etc. But depending on the size of your BOMs I guess a screenshot or two might do the job.

Cheers,

Jorn

Jorn,

That looks like what he wants. We're planning to upgrade to a newer point release (probably 10.2) late this year after the dust settles from moving to Creo 2.0 late this summer. I'll file that away for future reference for now.

Regards,

Erik
