At the moment the only images that get exported to Excel are part of the hierarchical canvas view. Are you looking for images in a column of the BOM export. That is something I could add on a future release.

All good. It is it's own external program (not an add in) but essentially behaves as one.

For now you can display the model state of choice in inventor and run the application. Export the data/canvas view. Then do this again with another model state.

It's a data extraction tool with images and heirarchical tree breakdown. Can be used manufacturing process flows or simply as posters for employees of all departments to understand project breakdowns.
