Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: If you perform a Part to Part BOM Compare, you can export the table to Excel. If you perform a CAD to Part BOM Compare the export option is not available.

Description:

Does anyone know if the export menus can be added to the CAD to Part Compare?

Hi @MM_10260548 

You can try to add the export menu to the comparation menu. 

just change a customActionModel.xml file . You have to find correct element to change and add a row for the export menu

just add the following rows

xml file is located in codebase\config\actions\customActionModel.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE actionmodels SYSTEM "customActionmodels.dtd">
<actionmodels>
   <model name="dsvp2cPartTreeToolBar">
    <action name="resetCompare"                 type="dsv"/>
    <action name="prevDifference"               type="dsb" />
    <action name="nextDifference"               type="dsb" />
    <action name="separator"                    type="separator"/>
    <action name="publishToCADGWT"              type="cat"/>
    <action name="buildCad"                     type="dsv"/>
    <action name="buildCadAndDesc"              type="dsv"/>
	<action name="dsbExportHtmlGWT" type="dsb"/>
	<action name="dsbExportCsvGWT" type="dsb"/>
	<action name="dsbExportPdfGWT" type="dsb"/>
	<action name="dsbExportTextGWT" type="dsb"/>
	<action name="dsbExportXlsGWT" type="dsb"/>
	<action name="dsbExportXlsxGWT" type="dsb"/>
  </model>
</actionmodels>

Results

PS: it is not ideal, it can throw some errors if the wtpart does not have linked cad but it works.

@HelesicPetr, will this work on the Part2Part compare also or do I need to look for another model in place of 

<model name="dsvp2cPartTreeToolBar">

Hi @BrianToussaint 

Actually I took the model(export function) from the PartToPart comparation wizard 😄
