BON Macro Help

(OP)
Does anyone have a macro that while in a drawing, will select the BOM and export it to an excel file?

Thanks.

RE: BON Macro Help

No macro required, just right-click your BOM table in the drawing, and Save As.

We are trying to have a single click for the users. We are taking the SolidWorks BOM, exporting it to an excel file, saving it to a specified dir on the network, then having another program pick it up and imiport it into our erp system.

The macro would ensure that the file naming would always be correct and the saved location would be correct.

Just trying to make it easier for the user.
