Help BOM Format File Syntax

[Chris1111]

I need to export my Pro/e BOM to a text file for import into excel. I know I have to create the bom format file and I have some examples of the format script text, but I do not have a description of the script syntax.

Example: %$name[-31s];%material[-9.3s]
Need definitions of each charactor group.

Do I need the section called " .breakdown" or can I use only the summary?

If anyone could send me an explanation for this, it would save me hours of trial and error research.

Thanks.

Chris.

Serach the PTC website Knowledgebase for BOM format.

This is the document explains BOm formats:
