SW output to MRP system
SW output to MRP system
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone out there is outputting any data from solidworks to an MRP system, either directly, or with some sort of interim step through Excel or some other program.
My aim is to be able to output a BOM, if I were about to try this, does anyone have any advice?

If your MRP is a window based application, it can read BOM data from BOM object in Solidworks via API.

I guess writing a macro would be the only option, I must dust off my .net book.

If anyone is interested, I might be able to add detail of what we do at our company. I'd have to get approval to post anything specific.

Set Configuration = AssemblyDoc.GetActiveConfiguration()
on both your excel sheet and the Assembly Traversal (.NET) example in API Help. I get the message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
It's been a long time since I did any programming, so maybe I'm a bit out of my depth here

I just tried it in SW 2011, and it works for me. Do you have an assembly open in a running session of SW? Maybe reboot your machine. You may need to update your references, but I'd try first with a reboot.

How do I update my references?
