Outputs (BOM) for only one PCB of the Project

Question

Hello,

I have a project consisting of multiple schematics and pcb documents.

Is there a way to generate outputs only for one set of docs (i.e. 1 sch + 1 pcb)? Most of all I need this for the generation of the bill of materials (BOM).

Until now I am using a workaround of copying fils to blank projects before generating outputs which is not very practical

Thanks in advance

I found a solution: 1. Configure and generate the output. 2. Locate the project directory in your file explorer and find the (freshly generated) .OutJob file 3. Edit the .OutJob file with an editor (notepad++) OutputDocumentPath1=MySchem.SchDoc for BOM OutputDocumentPath2= MySchem.SchDoc for Schematic I haven't used this feature for PCB-files yet. 
 Sometimes it doesnt work on the first try. You might have to close the CS "generate outputs" dialogue oder even the project. If there is a typo in the OutJob file, all schematics will be used for the output. 
 Caution: all this sometimes leads to data loss. Make sure to have backups!
