[Brian_Krassenstein]

When SOLIDWORKS was created with money won by Jon Hirschtick while he was a member of the MIT Blackjack Team, few knew that the software package would become the go-to tool for engineers designing complex systems for manufacturing. Now a pair of SOLIDWORKS partners, Hawk Ridge Systems and ATR Soft, have created a complimentary tool, xBOM, which simplifies the process of building and sharing the Bill of Materials features of the iconic software.

Below is a screen grab from use of xBOM. Let us know if you have used this new tool and what your thoughts were.
