During check in, the
integration creates BOM header documents in SOLIDWORKS PDM and links library parts (also
represented by virtual documents) to the BOM header
document.
The software organizes BOM headers by:
- By Location: Uses a
corresponding BOM header with a list of parts and cables used for each
project location.
- By Component Type:
Creates BOM headers for parts, cables, and harnesses.
- One Global: Creates one
BOM header that contains all parts and cables.
SOLIDWORKS
PDM represents BOM headers as virtual documents with the extension
.swebom.cvd..
To handle BOM:
-
Run
Synchronize Libraries.
-
Select and follow the instructions.
This ensures the updates of the part properties in the project with the current
attribute values from SOLIDWORKS PDM.
