Issue:
When using the BOM Export tool in the IMAGINiT Utilities for Vault Client to generate a Bill of Materials from an AutoCAD Electrical dwg drawing, the BOM export may fail.
Causes:
For AutoCAD Electrical dwgs and possibly also for Inventor assembly and drawings, the parent folder included an apostrophe or footmark in the folder's name.
The apostrophe in the folder path is being evaluated when the AutoCAD Electrical dwgs are exporting the BOM..
Solution:
To solve this, rename the dwg's parent folder with something other than an apostrophe, such as 'FT' in place of the footmark apostrophe, or just omit the apostrophe in the folder name.
