Convert SLDBOMBT to DRWPRP

Understanding sldbombt and drwprp file formats

SLDBOMBT files are a type of SolidWorks database file, specifically used for storing Bill of Materials (BOM) templates. These templates help automate and standardize the creation of BOM tables in SolidWorks assemblies and drawings.

DRWPRP files, on the other hand, are SolidWorks Drawing Properties files. They store custom properties and metadata related to SolidWorks drawing documents, such as title, author, revision, and other user-defined fields.

Why convert sldbombt to drwprp?

Converting an SLDBOMBT file to a DRWPRP file may be necessary if you want to transfer BOM template information into drawing properties, or to standardize metadata across multiple SolidWorks drawings. However, these formats serve different purposes, and direct conversion is not natively supported by SolidWorks. Instead, you may need to manually extract relevant data from the BOM template and input it into the drawing properties, or use automation tools to streamline the process.

Best software or converter for sldbombt to drwprp conversion

There is no direct, one-click converter for SLDBOMBT to DRWPRP conversion. The recommended approach is to use SolidWorks itself, possibly with the help of macros or the SolidWorks API to automate the extraction and transfer of data.

• Open your BOM template in SolidWorks.
• Extract the required BOM fields and values.
• Open the target drawing file.
• Go to File → Properties to access the drawing properties dialog.
• Manually enter or use a macro to import the extracted BOM data into the custom properties fields.
• Save the drawing, which will update the DRWPRP file.

For advanced users, the SolidWorks API can be used to script the process, automating the extraction from SLDBOMBT and insertion into DRWPRP fields.

Summary

While there is no direct converter for SLDBOMBT to DRWPRP, SolidWorks and its API provide the best tools for transferring BOM template data into drawing properties. Manual entry or automation via macros is required for this process.
