Downloading a File Package

All users with read access to an EBOM's component parts can generate and download a package of files connected to a part and its associated objects. The download file is a .zip file.

The Download Package wizard lists all document objects (part, CAD model, CAD drawing, drawing print, reference document) that you can access that are related to the parent part, to the level specified, including files checked in to those objects.

Your Business Administrator must enable this functionality. If you do not see this action, you cannot download files as a package.

Before you begin:
  • View the Bill of Materials page. See the help for the app in use.
  1. Click Download Package on the page toolbar. The Download Package wizard opens.
  2. Enter these details:
