SE BOM Extractor is an absolutely necessary tool to automate creation and updates of your Bill of Materials database from 3D Solid Edge files.

Instead of manually updating Excel files or BOM database in ERP system, which sometimes can take forever, SE BOM Extractor will automatically extract all BOM information from Solid Edge assembly and part files along with saving all the product and part pictures in JPG format.

SE BOM Extractor requires a valid license of Solid Edge installed on the same computer and a connection to Microsoft SQL Server (either free MSDE edition or a commercial version).

Let's take a look at the options that are available in SE BOM Extractor:

First, you connect SE BOM Extractor to your SQL Server database.



Second, you setup paths to your folders with Solid Edge files. (You can even setup multiple folder sets and custom file filters for each folder).



Then, you can setup the default directory to extract images to and whether to save subassembly and part images. You can specify whether to render a 3D Solid Edge model, use wireframe, outline or other image creation properties and fit every image to a specified size.



You can specify to automatically update Solid Edge drawing file properties.



Also you can command SE BOM Extractor to extract Bill of Materials data from all Solid Edge files (full extraction) or from files that were modified since last extraction.

You can specify how to work with log files and whether to run extraction automatically on program run and even automatically close SE BOM Extractor (for scheduled overnight BOM database updates, so you do not have to have a dedicated Solid Edge license to run SE BOM Extractor and use a floating one).



After all of your Bill of Materials data is put in a central database, you can view it, print it or export it using our SE WebBOM software or you can synchronize it directly with your ERP system.

SE BOM Extractor can work with your files that are managed by SharePoint and Insight. If you can map a network drive directly to Sharepoint, you can run SE BOM Extractor on network folders. If you can not do that, download WebDrive software package that will enable your operating system to map remote Sharepoint folders via VPN, Remote Access, WebDAV and even ftp protocols.

It's an amazing time saver! SE BOM Extractor saved us countless hours of manual BOM updates every week! Hands down the best add-on to any Solid Edge installation. Nikolay Kuznetsov Product Design Global Group, Toronto, Canada
