This interface extends IEdmBomMgr2 by providing the ability to:

• create a SOLIDWORKS BOM with rows and columns not tied to a fixed layout.
• add a SOLIDWORKS BOM to a non-SOLIDWORKS document in the vault.

To access this interface, call IEdmVault7::CreateUtility with eType = EdmUtility.EdmUtil_BomMgr and then cast the returned object to IEdmBomMgr3.
