Hi guys I have created a quick tool to export the contents of Inventors Structured BOM to Excel including the Thumbnail. One of our customers requested it and I could not find another way of doing this so I created a little app for it. Let me know what you think.

If I download it where do I put it?
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?
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.
not working in 2012 sp1 64 bit with window 7 sp1, excel 2007. check attachment, thanks.
Hi I tried at my office but it doesn't work.
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)
Hi guys,
For now the BOM Tools application can be found on the ductpro site at www.ductpro.net
Thanks

Thanks

Hi there,
Just what I was looking for!..... BUT......any chance you can re-upload that file I guess it's expired again?
Also, anything but mediafire... That's a "blocked domain" here 😞
Thanks in advance
As in one of the posts above go to www.ductpro.net and download the latest version there.
Let me know if you dont come right.
Pieter
Thanks Pieter,
Got it working - it's just what I needed.
I use a lot of iassemblies with multiple variants - it would be nice to have a option to not show items with a zero qty!
I actually downloaded from the first link in the first post which I assumed wasn't working anymore. the last link you posted also leads to Mediafire.com which I can't access from behind our firewall.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers

Hi sorry I forgot about that it takes you to a Mediafire site anyway...
Ok here is a tempory link you can try to get the latest version of BOM Tools: http://filegooi.co.za/get2/d03a46fcf861fe39911eee531b5f516b/Inv+-+BOM+properties+to+Excel+File.zip
Also you are talking about iAssemblies and parts in the BOM with 0 QTY. Can you explain.
Thanks
Pieter
