Extracting Hidden SolidWorks BOMs

In the SolidWorks application, you can hide a Bill of Materials on a drawing or assembly to prevent it from distracting you. Meanwhile, you may want to access the SolidWorks BOM in Enterprise PDM to export ballooning and other information to other applications like an MRP/ERP system.

To enable Enterprise PDM to always extract hidden BOMs:

  • Click Display > Options > Extract hidden BOM from SolidWorks files on Check-In.

    When you check in SolidWorks files with hidden BOMs, the software extracts the BOMs to Enterprise PDM as SolidWorks BOMs.
