BOM export from bill of material windows versus bom.export from code?

[mucip]

Hi,

I arranged all coulms of Bill of Material list from own window. I am using "sav as" dialog box and csv option. But when I do this from the vba or vb.net below code:

oStructuredBOMView.Export(FileNameCsv, FileFormatEnum.kTextFileCommaDelimitedFormat)

The written csv file coulmn design is not like first step... This is very interesting.

The both file should be same, shouldn't it?!...

Hi,

Thanks a lot... Well how can we solve this problem until Autodesk will fix it? Can we export BOM with the VB.NET code line by line to the csv or xls file?...

And ofcourse how can we apply press on Autodesk to solve this problem?...

yes it would be nice to get this bom export topic sorted.

ps- i recall some people submitting various requests to improve the functionality of inventor's BOM export capabilities, but possibly not the API side of the topic.

it would perhaps be worth checking over on the IdeasStation part of the various forums if you want to log a new idea or add kudos to any worthwhile existing idea that have been submitted.
