My task is use the Advanced Bill of Material Process to create a Bill of Material. I want to Automate it. I can't find any example of what the path is or if its possible.

This leads to many variables to consider...I just built a Bill of Materials using Excel to extract all data in CATIA obviously considering all filters I wanted.
Do you plan on writing your VBA directly into CATIA or Excel?

Gents,

Here is the scenario.

I have a Drawing that has a View linked to 3D.

To create a BOM I select Insert -> Generation -> Bill of Material -> Advanced Bill of Material. This creates the BOM in the Drawing. Creating a BOM using automation is not the hard part. What I can't find out is how to Automate the 'Advanced Bill of Material' other htan using the Start.Command...

I am able to modify the values and the width of the default.

I want to automate the creation of the Advanced Bill of Material.
