Inventor 2017 R2 - BOM tips

By Clint Brown

In the video below, I show you 3 productivity tips for BoM's in Inventor

• Capitalising the text fields of your BoM Data.

• Editing a BoM in Excel & copying the data back to Inventor, this allows for several components to be updated at once from the BoM environment (quite useful for adding / updating fields like Materials on parts in an assembly).

• The 3rd is an update that came out with the R2 release of Inventor 2017, this is the ability to open parts directly from the BoM environment.
