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

doug.johnston · ‎01-12-2024

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

Dim c As ControlDefinition = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AssemblyBillOfMaterialsCmd")
c.Execute

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.

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