My configuration control experience is limited, but it seems like what I trying to accomplish should be possible. I am thinking one of the following options would work for me, but I don't know what is possible in Creo Elements/Direct Model/Drawing Manager (17.0).
1) I have a large assembly, which in addition to having many individual components it also has many sub-assemblies as its components. I would like to be able to EXPORT a BOM for the top level assembly and for all of the sub-assemblies, and so and so forth. I know that this can generate a lot of data, but i want to be able to cross reference the BOMs to our storage facility to make sure we have received all the parts.
2) A second, not as efficient, method would be if there was a way to write a script that could take a list of part numbers as input and then output the BOMs individually. Is there any way to interact with Model Manager via scripting?
