FYI, a tool (I am thinking you are talking about a tool which manages a BOM) which works directly with KiCad schematic files is not a good idea. You really underestimate the complexity of a full complex hierarchical project using parts with multiple units per package. The reasonable approach is to parse the netlist. > > What the solution is exactly, I don't mind at all. > -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
