Is it possible to have more DrawingBoms in one drawing?

Via the API you have the object DrawingBoms which suggest multiple.

 

ThisDrawing.Document.DrawingBOMs.Count

Hi!

 

You can gave more then one, with different filters applied, but... all of the same type:

all lists type "STRUTURED", or all lists type "PARTS ONLY".

@CCarreiras means all the same DrawingBom.

And DrawingBoms.Count will always return "1"

 

Correct?

You can get more than one DrawingBOM if you create drawing with more than one base views from different models with its partsLists
