Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

I think it would be a better use of your time if you could make the BOM exporter already existing have them auto populated. 2017-05-14 21:39 GMT+02:00 Kristoffer Ödmark : > Well I think these reasons are strange, I think that having a built in way > of exporting the

It would be useful to have a csv export solution in the component table, both grouped and ungrouped. Dan On 2017-05-14 22:12, Andrey Kuznetsov wrote: Agree, a csv file option should be available. Would be nice if there were 2 flavors, grouped and ungrouped. That's all a general user might

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

Agree, a csv file option should be available. Would be nice if there were 2 flavors, grouped and ungrouped. That's all a general user might want. Asking a general user to deal with python is unreasonable, and it took me a while to figure out how the current plug in system works and even longer

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

Well I think these reasons are strange, I think that having a built in way of exporting the BoM from the software is reasonable. Since not everyone are the same. The component table is what a user expects to see when wanting to generate a BOM. I can assure you that no EE or student expects to

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

Stevn, My position in term of electronic design is 180 degrees from yours. When many engineering hours are spent design a manufacturable board, you do not want some bean counter change the BOM in a whim. So in order to control the proper life of a design, you want the schematic to contain the

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

I agree with this decision as well but for different reasons. The more I get into small scale self manufacturing, the more I am persuaded by the argument that you want to keep as little BoM information in the Kicad schematic fields as reasonably possible. It becomes a maintenance nightmare,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

Ofcourse, but then that also has the problem that I dont really know what kind of output I can expect, with this component table I know exaclty what to expect. I can see the output before I export it. For example in the pcbnew bom-exporter I get a field that is called "supplier and ref", but

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

This feature was IN this branch of code but was vetoed. It was WYSIWYG BoM with export to: *SV XML HTML Wayne mentioned that KiCad used to have such a BOM export tool but I haven't been using KiCad long enough to have experienced it. If there is real need for such a feature then I leave that to

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

Doesnt really matter what delimiter is used. It would just feel better if kicad had a default BOM-generation built in. Then I dont mind if someone prefers the alternative scritpting way to go because they can generate html or pdf or pictures or whatever. A simple delimiter based exporter as

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

Hey! This might be the one of the best new features with kicad in my opninion! It would be more intuitive to have a bom-generator inside this tool as well. A wsiwyg BOM-generator if you will. Just to generate a .csv or a rahter a .tsv as the default. Leaving the current way to plugin-generate
