Hi all, I have been working on a BOM exporter built into KiCad (in addition to the external BOM script functionality that already exists).
It's not ready yet to be merged but I am showing the progress here to get any input and in case anyone else is working on a similar feature. Here's a screenshot of the current tool (launched from eeschema) http://i.imgur.com/nb3mqqx.png Features that are implemented thus far: - Extract all component fields - Group components based on user-selectable fields - Show conflicts when groups cannot be merged - Show/hide various columns - Sort part references in natural fashion, e.g. C99 < C100 - CSV export - TSV export - HTML export Features still to be implemented: - Sort by column (ascending, descending) - Save BOM preferences to project file - Add filters to each column to include/exclude groups by wildcard or regex - Back-annotate component data (bulk update all components in a group) So, thoughts? I feel that a proper BOM tool has been sorely missing from Kicad thus far. If I continue to work on this is it something that is likely to be merged? Regards, Oliver
