bomcheck.cfg

Bomcheck has a configuration file available named bomcheck.cfg. With it the default Unit of Measure (U/M) can be switched from inches to mm or to some other U/M. Also, column header names can be changed to suit the user's needs. Within the bomcheck.cfg file are explanations about what settings that can be employed. To get started, download bomcheck.cfg from https://github.com/kcarlton55/bomcheck/tree/master/doc, save to your local disk, then open with text editor and modify it as you like. Afterwards go to bomcheckgui's settings and point the program to your config file.
