I am trying to Generate Bill of Materials for the projects, the out put of the reports only shows the CAT information, LOC, QTY etc.. But i wish to see the Parent Child References in Block, i already created a sample block, but i am not sure, where i need to add to get the output report in block format.

 

I am here attached the screenshot of the sample block, i wish to get the output in this format. Could you please check and guide me.

When you run Component BOM report, make sure you check mark "include children for above".

There's no way to get the symbol graphics into the report in AutoCAD Electrical using standard features.
I guess you can achieve it using custom code.

Yes i too think of that. Could you advise me, how i could achieve that using custom code. My existing project have this graphic symbol in BOM Report.

 

It looks good and more clear for the client to understand. Also while generate Component report, after i select "Child for above" still i could not get child ref in my standard report format.

 

Please provide your expertise for the above two issues.

No I can not. There's no way to easily explain this. Learn to program, learn the AutoCAD Electrical API. Or pay someone to do this for you.

The reports in AcadE will only report the cross-reference to the parent component. Always.
Again, this can also be fixed with custom code.
