I'm curious if there's a way to export XML without running a part through a transition. Something that will push the XML output exactly as it does when you run it through a transition, so that it ends up in the same spot it usually does with the other XML outputs, but doesn't actually run the part through any workflow.

Unfortunately, there is no current capability of Enterprise PDM without creating a custom program using the Enterprise PDM API.
To export an XML of the properties or BOM information of any file in Enterprise PDM using exported XML data, the file must be passed through a workflow transition.
Hi Charley,
As you mentioned, you may create an automatic transition to create xml as dummy export tool.
