The BOM setting file. (* .fmt )
This file is used to set the output format of the classification of an assembly in CREO .
By default there is already a formatting this file, it is in the installation directory of Creo ‘ Common
Files \ text \ format.bft ‘ , what interests us is the ability to insert parameters custom (matter ,
mass, vendor specification … )
1) Edit a * .fmt or create it with a text editor (ex Notepad) 2) Create a folder and put the * .fmt . 3)
Configure config.pro that takes into account the CREO .fmt .
By default there is already a format that file, what interests us is the ability to insert custom
settings there (matter, mass, vendor specification …)
I open an assembly:
I edit the default nomenclature:
Below nomenclature with the default settings, the top window will bring up assemblies and
subassemblies (if you chose the subassembly option) if parts are common to several sub-
assemblies they will appear in their respective subassemblies. In the bottom window is the
summary of all the parts of the assembly and sub- assemblies, if parts are parts of several
subassemblies they will not appear duplicated only their quantities will be incremented
To customize the configuration file of the nomenclature in order to edit a BOM with custom
settings, We must first edit * .fmt or create it with a text editor (ex Notepad) and save it with the
extension .fmt then configure the config.pro for Creo takes into account your file not the default ( If
you can not configure this file see chapter on config.pro ) , to summarize:
My file I added NOMINATION column, this column displays the parameter that I created in the
rooms.
If I edit my file:
Top default parameter “.breakdown” not to delete one, it is an internal parameter to CREO. If you
do not want to display the BOM assembly by tree but just the summary of the parts constituting
the assembly will need to remove the lines “.summary”, like this:
The line “.summary” not to remove only you as the example above removes the lines “summary”
and all lines below “.summary ”:
This way you will edit only the nomenclature tree assembly.
If I compare the nomenclature edited with my .fmt and nomenclature generated with this:
In red lines below “.breakdown” will be the assembly tree, type and % $ % $ name are Creo
parameters, the model type, respectively (here an assembly) and the model name is -to say the
name of the CAD file, as a result of these two parameters you can specify other parameters
created in the assembly or CREO settings and text (here the text “contains”’) CREO parameters
are preceded by signs “% $” custom settings
Green and yellow are the nomenclature related summary of parts of the assembly
