BOM Export<br />

Bill of Materials<br />

For exporting BOM data or the BOM itself to the Excel file (xls), the command “BS: Export BOM” is<br />

used:<br />

Keyboard Textual Menu Icon<br />

«Tools|Bill of Materials|Export…»<br />

After calling this command, the dialog window with the list of export options appears on the screen. From<br />

the list the user can select the export of BOM table and export of BOM data.<br />

When exporting the BOM table, only the contents of the BOM table is<br />

transferred to the Excel document. The sequence and the<br />

composition of columns in the table, the row sequence, etc. are<br />

retained.<br />

When exporting the BOM data to the Excel document, all internal data,<br />

on the basis of which the BOM was created, is transferred. All<br />

sorting rules and rules for combining the records, used in the BOM,<br />

are ignored. The result of the export operation will be different from<br />

the initial BOM appearance in the T-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>CAD</strong> document.<br />

If the original T-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>CAD</strong> document contains several BOM, the result of the export operation will be the<br />

multipage Excel document. Each BOM is exported to a separate page (sheet).<br />

The export is carried out by macros located in the folder “…/Program/BOMExport”. If<br />

necessary, for exporting BOM to different formats, the user can add his own macros to this folder.<br />

Editing Positions<br />

An existing position can be edited or a BOM leader added by the command “Positions…”. To do this,<br />

move the pointer to the leader note to be edited and right click . In the coming up menu select the item<br />

“Positions…”. A dialog box will appear on the screen, with the BOM displayed in its left hand side pane,<br />

and the leader note text in the right hand side one.<br />
