I can't find any way to figure out which view is referenced by the new bom
table. I first thought it would be an object of the view that was selected
when it was created but it seems that it is a part of the sheet view. My
goal is actually to access the model that is referenced through the bom. I
see there is a way to get the config or configs that are referenced but
nothing for the Model or the View that are referenced. Anyone?

Have you tried using the BOM.GetFeature? I haven't tried it, but you might
be able to then get the name of the feature. Could that feature be the
model or view?

This is the debug string I got from the following

Set bomf = ThisAnnotation.BomFeature
Set feat = bomf.GetFeature
Debug.Print feat.Name

Bill Of Materials1

so it appears that BomFeature is only giving access to the Feature object of
the Bom

Though earlier I tried Feat.getparents and it came up with one object but
when I tried to use it as a view I got a type mismatch.....OOOOHHH.....

Ahhhh....I passed the object to a feature and it's name is the referenced
model. Thank you Evan for invoking this thought process.

Darn it. After looking closer I found that the feature returned as the
parent feature is the drawing itself (Which is in this case the same as the
model.) Using it would be a safe bet for most of our drawings but I don't
want to rely on most of the time. I may resort to using the view specified
in sheet props until I can find a clean way of getting the View used to
create the BOM.
