Hi, 

we want write an app for our PDM vault that will export the BOM automaticly to an csv file when we change state of the assembly.

For that we tried 2 methods and got the same problem.

As the data transfer to .csv format all the not standart connectios are lost (like files that are excluded from bom, assemblies that are in BOM promote or hide state, parts that are pasted as reference in the PDM, etc.)
