ilogic to open BOM (Bill of Materials) in inventor ??

Good morning everyone,

 

I am looking for some code to automatically open the BOM inside an Assembly ??

 

We have an ilogic code that runs to calculate totals quantities based on materials / cut size / cut length.  After we run that code we open the BOM manually to review that the rule has done everything correctly.

 

I would like to automate the opening of the BOM.

 

Any assistance is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Doug J

Hi @doug.johnston , 

See this past post on this topic that has some info about opening to a specific tab and editing the BOM, etc.

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-programming-ilogic/open-bom-on-the-right-tab/m-p/9317332#M10...

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
