Export Part List Without Required Inventor to be Running

Hi,

 

We are working on the export part list. Currently it is required Inventor to be running.

Is there any way to export a part list without Inventory running?

 

Thanks.

Best you can do is to open inventor invisibly and export it from there.

 

The functionality is not exposed in Apprentice (as discussed here and a variety of other places on the forums: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-customization/reading-parts-list-bom-via-apprentice-in-idw-f...)
