I have a BOM table in an assembly that I would like to get as a datatable in vb.net. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this without creating the datatable and then filling it cell by cell with information from the BOM table.
I tried directly going from myBomfeature to DataTable like such
MyDataTable = MyBomfeature.GetTableAnnotations
That did not work.
I just want the super simple magical solution if there is one.
There isn't one.
It's a pretty simple loop though.
I was struggling to gather the data from the BOM table, but I found this Solidworks help example that is getting me on the right path. I was making it far more complex than it needed to be for sure.
so no direct way to convert it to a DataTable, but with this Example, I can adapt it to an assembly instead of a drawing file and loop through the table to write the cell contents into a DataTable.
