Auto BOM that can link to blocks

Auto BOM that can link to blocks

Auto BOM that can link to blocks

(OP)
Any one know of a program that can incorporate a block from library and then automatically generate a BOM.   I once used a program called ME10, it works a lot like AutoCAD but can also automatically update the drawing template title blocks, revision in all sheets, and all parts (blocks) inside a drawing.  It would be nice to have those function with auto CAD, any tips or info would be appreciated.

Awesome, thanks TCARPENTER1.

RE: Auto BOM that can link to blocks

If a parent drawing incorporates a BOM as a X-Ref drawing, Making the change in the BOM will be automatically  noticed in the parent drawing when you open it.  Is this what you are looking for?

RE: Auto BOM that can link to blocks

(OP)
What I'm looking for is the other way around, I need the BOM to be updated when I changed or inserted a block.
