Converting Pro E Bills of Materials into Excel Files

Converting Pro E Bills of Materials into Excel Files

(OP)
I would like to convert bills of materials from Pro E files into Excel format, but I do not have the Intralink - would anyone know of another way of doing this?

Cheers

RE: Converting Pro E Bills of Materials into Excel Files

Select table in Pro-E, go to table tab, save table, as csv (comma delimited).
Open in Excel, and check the box "fields seperated by commas" or something similar. Un-check the "seperated by tabs" box.
I've done this a few times, and I'm sure if you play around with it, you'll find what I'm talking about,

RE: Converting Pro E Bills of Materials into Excel Files

I use the following method:

From an assembly file, pick 'Info/Bill of Materials.'  Pro/e will ask you to set a few options and will then create your BOM.

then if you have the 'info_output_format' config option set to text, you'll see a new text file in your working dir with a text output of your complete bom.

you can also format the bom any way you wish by setting the 'bom_format' config option and editing the file that it points to.
