About Exporting and Importing BOMs (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

You can export BOMs to other file formats, edit or add data to the exported file, and import it back again.

You can export BOMs to other file formats, edit or add data to the exported file, and import it back again. For example, you can export a BOM to a .txt file, edit it in Notepad, and import it back again. The following export/import formats are supported:
  • .txt - tab-separated value file
  • .csv - comma-separated value file
  • .html - Web page

BOMKEY values are used to identify items uniquely in the exported file. If you do not modify BOMKEY values, existing items update correctly when you import it back again. Any new rows are appended to the BOM, but are not associated with any geometry in the drawing.
