Inserting BOM Table (API ) error

When trying to insert a SW BOM table (not Excel based) using the
following call the table goes in with no part entries actually in the
table. If I insert manually using the same table template it always
works as it should. If I insert using the API call and then modify the
tables properties (BOM Type), such as to Parts Only, Indented
Assemblies Only, Top Level Only - the table immediately fills
correctly.

Is my call wrong or is there a bug in the Insert routine?


Set swBomTable = swView.InsertBomTable2(False, vPickPt(0), vPickPt(1),
swBOMConfigurationAnchor_TopLeft, 3, "", "C:\Program
Files\SolidWorks\lang\English\bom-standard.sldbomtbt ")

 

I know this API works because I've used it in the past. If you specify
a top level bom then no bom data fills in until you specify the
configurations post creation using bomfeature:setconfigurations. This
is outlined in the API help.

I did notice that in your call you haven't specified a configuration.
Try "default" or whatever configuration is available to that part. Ten
to one odds this does it for you.
