How to insert BOM into Drawing

[shizahkhalid]

Is there a way to display the BOM of an Assembly document into a drawing sheet? The only examples I'm seeing are on how to insert a PartsList and modify it according to the BOM. This is very time consuming to automate, so I'm hoping there's a way that BOMRows from BOM of the referenced assembly document can directly be used to populate a CustomTable object on the drawing sheet. Would appreciate any guidance.

Hi @shizahkhalid.  Technically speaking, there is no way to directly put an assembly BOM into a drawing.  In a drawing, the PartsList is where we show assembly BOM information.  However, if you do not like how the PartsList works, and want to use a CustomTable for that purpose instead, you may be able to work with an object that is not mentioned that much, and sort of acts like a 'middle man' between the assembly's BOM and the drawing's PartsList, called a DrawingBOM.  You can find these in a collection right under the DrawingDocument (DrawingDocument.DrawingBOMs).  That should contain most of the same information, accessible through columns and rows, but is mostly ReadOnly.
