Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended to use the second one.
1. Capture CIS’s unique way of importing BOM. You don’t have this option when using Capture.
Click Stanard, then
You can select in the left box and add into the right box, so that the wizard will export the attributes you want.
At the same time, there is a Key option on the lower right. You select an attribute in the output box and then check Key.
In this way, you can identify this Key attribute when importing the BOM. Components with the same key attribute are placed in the same row, and other attributes except Key are merged into the same row by default. The specific principle is followed, which may be based on the attribute of the first number. I don’t know yet. Future updates.
This leads to a problem. Sometimes the components in the schematic may have different attributes and may be mixed into one row, causing BOM errors. If it is a formal operation, even if you use components in the database, just make sure the Part Number is different. If there is NC in the schematic, the Part Number of the NC component must also be changed to NC, and you cannot just change the Value.
二、tools/Bills Of Materias
Adding a title to the Header is actually not important.
Add properties in Combined property string. Note that \t represents the tab stop, and the attributes in "{ }" are the attributes to be exported. Refer to the properties shown in the schematic by double-clicking on the component.
Commonly used attributes are:
{Item}\t{Quantity}\t{Reference}\t{Value}\t{PCB Footprint}\t{Manufacture}\t{Manufacture Part Number}
The advantage of this method is that as long as any of the written attributes is different, a new line will be added, and the BOM is not prone to errors.
In fact, no matter which method is used, you should understand how to export the final result file before drawing the schematic diagram. Pay attention when designing and not be careless. Be careful when modifying properties.
