Design BOM Dialog

The BOM results page (See dialog below) will display the following locations by default: Aerial, Buried, Riser, Underground, and Duct. User-defined locations (0-9) will display only if used. Sort the BOM report by clicking on any of the Column headings.

Right click anywhere on the dialog to output the report (Save as…). Name and save the *.csv file to any location desired (The project DES folder is the default output directory).

The BOM Command will generate 4 output files:

  1. [Name].csv - shows the entire BOM report in comma separated and fixed length format.

  2. [Name].txt - shows the entire BOM report as a text file.

  3. [Name]-Full.csv - has a complete listing of ALL features in each spec file used in the BOM area-whether those features were used or not-and includes all Location types. This report is generated in a CSV format.

  4. [Name]-ADD.csv - contains the addresses linked to the Tap features from the BOM area, in a CSV format.
