    Good to hear. Yes it's hard coded to only export the first level BOM

    You can put it anywhere. You will have to install it after you have downloaded it. Then you will have an icon on your desktop you can use to start the application.

    Thanks,

    Work! Just need to condense the cells in excel so my BOM isnt 20 sheets instead of 3. Good work. How come Autodesk didnt do that?

    Glad to hear it's of use to you.
    Please be aware that there is a 150 row limit. I am using a free Visual Basic module in my program which has this limit unfortunately. If the limit is reached you will notice this in the excel file at the bottom.

    If we ever buy the paid for module I will upload a new version. But for now that's it as we don't ever need mor than 150 rows in or BOM's

    Thanks for thumbnails Export.

    Does it works without Excel ?

    I tried to export a .iam as a .xlsx sheet and to open it with openoffice. All is ok but thumbnails doesn't appear.

    You don't need excel on your pc for the app to work. The app do however create a true Excel file. How this file will import into other applications will depend on the 'other' applications ability to open/import MS Excel files.

    Did you know that Microsoft Office Starter is Free! With that installed you can have excel 2010 which is garanteed to do the job.

    Yes that will happen if you don't have enough rights on your pc. Try running it as a local administrator. Also try running it with "User Account Control" switched off. Let me know but this sorted us out with one of our other users.

    Hi I tried at my office but it doesn't work.

    bugbom01.jpg

     

    It's a french install of inventor 2011 64bits on win 7

    The error happens when I save the xlsx file.

     

    It worked at my home with inventor 2012 64 bits US Version, but generated files were under 10 Ko (not enough to embed thumbnails I think)
