If you’re using AutoCAD Electrical for your electrical design projects, OpenBOM provides a seamless way to extract and manage data directly from your schematic documents.
With this direct integration, OpenBOM reads component information, properties, and symbol data from your AutoCAD Electrical schematics and automatically creates a structured Bill of Materials (BOM) in the cloud.
As you make updates to your schematics, you can easily refresh your BOM in OpenBOM by clicking “Update BOM”.
This action re-reads your AutoCAD Electrical drawings and synchronizes component information, properties, and metadata with your existing BOM in OpenBOM.
You stay in full control of when updates are applied — ensuring that your BOM always reflects the latest design intent, without any unwanted automatic changes.
Main features:
- Exclude unwanted properties from the BOM/Catalog.
- The embedded add-in creates BOMs directly from AutoCAD Electrical schematics.
- Easily send AutoCAD Electrical component data to OpenBOM with one click.
- Include tag IDs, symbol, and catalog metadata.
- Extend BOM by adding rows and columns on the fly.
- Create Vendor Lists and assign preferred suppliers to components.
- Manage and roll up costs, quantities, and other properties to calculate the total project cost.
