[PEDA] Quantity Column in DXP's BOM output
I would like to make an attempt to use DXP on some real work despite some of the show stoppers I have listed on the various forums and sent to Altium, however there is one item that I have not been able to resolve yet that is very important in my relationship with assembly houses. That would getting the BOM to list a quantity used for each part value like in P99SE's Protel Format. I would very much appreciate it if anyone could help me find this feature in DXP or if it doesn't exist, maybe Altium would like to comment that this is planned for a future service pack.

Re: [PEDA] Quantity Column in DXP's BOM output
Hi Rob, Yes it is a nuisance that we cannot get a breakdown of component quantities, even the Protel format is not always perfect. So, we here use an Excel VB script I wrote to process the BOM, in fact it can select multiple xls files, add a quantity, select fields to match by and select fields to output to a final project BOM. Its fairly basic but seems to work. I could make this available if no other soultion is found.
