Bill of Materials Enhancements

SOLIDWORKS Manage offers more capabilities for managing and exporting Bills of Material.

  • You can check out and edit the Bill of Materials (BOM) values of a parent file without checking out its child files or items.
    Available only for limited field types.
  • You can export a BOM in tree format with Export BOM items in Tree Style. The BOM export settings of the selected object are applicable for all files and items of the BOM.
  • You can compare all the levels of BOMs by specifying the Multi-line compare option in the Bill of Materials (BOM) compare tool.
  • You can create linked records directly from a BOM view even if the record is not checked out.
