To open the command, go to:
Woodwork Design –> BOM –> BOM 
The command can operate in two different modes:
1. Reading of information from the assembly model currently open in the Autodesk Inventor environment.
2. Reading of information from the previously generated W4I BOM file.
After the reading of information is complete, the browser representing the assembly structure will open.
