Parameters

OnlyVisible

Indicator of the contents of the arrays (see Remarks)

Visible

Array of Booleans indicating the visibility of the configurations

Names

Array of strings of the names of the configurations

Return Value

Although this method works on all styles of BOM tables (top-level only, parts-only, indented subassemblies), it is only necessary for top-level only style tables. For the other style tables, where only a single configuration is shown at a time, using IBomFeature::Configuration is simpler and more efficient.

NOTE: If the Restrict top-level only BOMs to one configuration option on the Document Properties > Tables > Bill of Materials dialog or IModelDocExtension::GetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swOneConfigOnlyTopLevelBom) returns true, then only the active or default configuration of the drawing view is inserted in the BOM.

The view associated with this BOM can contain a model with multiple configurations. For a top-level only style BOM table, there can be several Quantity columns, each showing the results for a different configuration. For the other styles of BOM tables, only a particular configuration can be shown in the table, and that configuration can be changed. To determine the BOM table style, use the IBomFeature::TableType property.

To get the number of configurations, use IBomFeature::GetConfigurationCount.
