BOM Migration Wizard - Select the Project Folder - Step (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Use the step to select the drawing files to migrate. You can remove and add drawings, attach Excel spreadsheet containing parts lists to drawings, and define Excel options.

Project folder

Browse

Displays the Select Folder dialog box to enable you to choose the folder containing the drawing project. The wizard assumes that all the drawing files in this folder are to be migrated and adds them to the Files list. If the selected folder contains subfolders, the drawings files in them are also added to the Files list.

If a file is located within the project folder’s root, the Folder column is empty.

Attach
