Gents,

Here is the scenario.

I have a Drawing that has a View linked to 3D.

To create a BOM I select Insert -> Generation -> Bill of Material -> Advanced Bill of Material. This creates the BOM in the Drawing. Creating a BOM using automation is not the hard part. What I can't find out is how to Automate the 'Advanced Bill of Material' other htan using the Start.Command...

I am able to modify the values and the width of the default.

I want to automate the creation of the Advanced Bill of Material.

Jon
