(OP)
Go Engineer has some interesting short vids on "What's new in 2006".  The sheetmetal clips are interesting, as well as smart components.  In the spell check vid, they used equations in the BOM; is this new, or did I overlook it in 2005?

Sorry, I forgot to post the link:

In the Spell Check vid, they easily added an equation to the BOM (Sum in that example).  The question is, was it previously possible to add equations in BOMs, or is that a new feature.  
I'm thinking about automatically adding up lengths for rectangular tubing, or round tubing, etc.

I think you can add equations to the BOM in 2005 as well.
