Download Attachment from BOM

[Anand_G]

We have a BOM where all the child parts has attachment to them. Would like to download all the child parts attachment, is there any ways to download them instead of navigating to individual attachment.

Hi @Anand_G

HI @Anand_G 

Here I've mentioned what to study to customize Windchill. There are many other resources that can be found on the PTC Knowledge base

I’ve written several download tools that do something very similar to want you are looking for.

Im not going to just give them away but if this is important enough let me know and I can get you a tool that would download either to a folder or as a zip file to the user to “Save” wherever they choose. 👍

Send me a private message with your work email address  if you want this issue resolved. I always reply promptly to requests.

FYI: FELCO Solutions offers an off-the-shelf app called "Download Content".
https://www.felcosolutions.com/downloadcontentmanager
It supports downloading attachments, representations, and more from any collection of objects: BOM structures, baselines, search results, change notices, etc.

You could use a query builder report.

See these articles if could help you

This will not get the job done.

The only way to pull this off is with a custom tool. And to write such a tool one needs the knowledge to write code. Other than that there’s no OOTB way to do this. There just isn’t 🤷‍♂️
