Custom Output File Path

Excel BOM parameter files now support a FILE_PATH option that allows defining the folder where the generated BOM file will be saved.

The output folder can be configured using a pattern with predefined tokens.

Example:

FILE_PATH {ASSEMBLY_PATH}\{USER}

Supported tokens include:

{ASSEMBLY_PATH} – folder of the root assembly

{STANDARD_PATH} – default Excel BOM generation folder

{USER} – current user identifier

{TEMP} – system temporary folder

If the option is not specified, Excel BOM continues to use the default output location, ensuring full backward compatibility.

This option can be configured directly from the Excel BOM Designer, which now includes a dedicated field for defining the output folder pattern. This option can be used to allow distinct users to create Excel BOMs at the same time in distinct folders.
