Export BOM/Parts List to excel or other format

[Aaron.Magnin]

In order to get BOM and Parts Lists into ERP and other systems, it would be helpful to be able to export those directly from a Fusion drawing.

Currently, you can do this by exporting the entire drawing to DWG, then using "TABLEEXPORT" in AutoCAD to get it to a CSV file, but its a bit of extra work. 

For those of you trying to do this now, here are some steps:

1. Export to DWG 

2. TABLEEXPORT from AutoCAD

3. CSV to Excel (or other spreadsheet software)

That is a great solution however I do not own Autocad. I would vote for direct export.

@Anonymous So someone on YouTube mentioned they were able to do something similar with a pdf. I had trouble using that method, but it may help you.

I have a basic addin to do this here: https://github.com/schneik80/BOM-Export

Are you referring to the export to DWG as the final solution provided? If so, that really is not a viable solution at all for many MANY users

@Anonymous, what @Aaron.Magnin has noted here is a complicated workaround... we know that you need the ability to export your Parts List directly from the Drawings environment into an excel-friendly format, and we've been working on it. In the early-November update coming soon, you'll be able to export a .csv of your Parts Lists (along with some other pretty exciting new features), so stay tuned! For more info on what we're working on and what our roadmap for Fusion Drawings is, check out our latest blog post here: http://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/blog/2d-drawings-check-roadmap/

@Anonymous Yes, from the Output menu, select the CSV option, and then choose which table or parts list on a sheet you want exported.

Where is the output button now? I cannot find it anywhere... Or is there an alternate method?

If you are looking for a program that creates a BOM and saves it to an Excel file, you can download such a program from this website and use it for free
