NOTE: The first time you run BOMxTractor, you will be prompted to "fix" the registry entry.  If you move the BOMxTractor to another location or change its file name, you will also be prompted.  CAUTION, I do not know if the registry is the same in all languages so it is possible this could be a problem.  Once the program has "fixed" the registry, a file named UnRegBomExtractor.reg will be created.   You can run this file to remove the BOMxTractor from the Windows Explorer Context menu.


Updated 10/25/2002 Fixed preview image for R6 compatibility, added double click preview on BOM list in main Window

In Excel, a new column has been added to the Indented sheet.  It is populated with Check Boxes.  The ones which start with "A" are assemblies, and "P" for Parts.  If you check / uncheck an "A" box, it will check / uncheck the lines which report to that assembly.  When you have the "files" you want checked, pick the "Create Assembly" button and Excel will drive Inventor to build a new assembly with the selected components located in the correct positions and grounded.  Only one aseembly will be created.  All parts will report to this new assembly.
