BOM generator API

 

The BOM App generator has a flexible mechanism for outputting information in various formats. These can be MS Excel, CSV, TXT and XML files. The principle of output is based on the creation of templates, which dictate the format of the output report.

 

However, in practice, there are cases where the generation of reports into files is not sufficient. The BOM App generator therefore has its own API that allows you to get the aggregated data from the model directly in your created add-on and to enter them directly into a foreign database using various drivers (e.g. SQL database engines). This mechanism can be useful for those who want to integrate Woodwork for Inventor with an ERP system without having to go through intermediate data export and import procedures.
