The Spare Parts Export connector is a tool installed on the SOLIDWORKS workstation that leverages the entire product model in SOLIDWORKS to extract the desired bill of materials.
The connector automatically generates a graphical representation in the form of a thumbnail for each component, as well as an interactive exploded view for each level of the product tree exported from SOLIDWORKS.
It securely transmits the generated BOM and media to the application with an authentication request.
Once imported, you can view and navigate the product through the thumbnails and interactive exploded views displayed on the platform.
