Sovelia Inventor Custom Actions

Create BOM from Inventor

Sovelia Inventor can use any custom code, ilogic or VB, to create custom actions. Those can be tailored to suit the need of the customers, and will run and be distributed by Sovelia Inventor Common folder.

To start managing your BOM, download the sample file from here : https://supportfiles.symetri.com/s/8sFE7wT46L89tCc

To use this BOM export you first need to create an export from Inventor BOM to set up the columns as you want them. Save the Bom Export xml together with the downloaded codefile in your Common folder in the “PropertyEditor” SubFolder.

Then add the filepaths And filenames In the code as follows :

1. Create a xml file in Inventor and add the filepath as in the "oBomxmlpath" location example in the code to import the BOM settings

2. Set your path to the Rootfolder as in "oRootPath" location example in the code. This is the top folder where the workspace folder structure can be added.

3. Set your "oSavePath" as in the example in the code, this can be oRootpath and directorypath or just type a path or build it from iproperties.

4. Set your "oFileName" from iproperties, or "oFileName & oExtension".

Then use the Ribbon menu to create a button in Sovelia Inventor General Tools
