Answer 1

You can create BOMs with the help of Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical. Access the support page to learn what are the BOM functions, and then use the concept pages provided by Autodesk related to the BOMs and their generation based on the files you have. It's an extensive learning procedure, but at the end of it, you will learn how to create these BOMs.
