Editable BOM list #661

Open animalejo opened 2 years ago

animalejo commented 2 years ago

It would be very useful if the BOM List were editable. For example, if I change the number of some component in the list, it also changes the number in the component itself (I hope it is understood), or, to be able to write or add more to the list, etc.

Thanks !

The BOM is editable. If you create a BOM for i.e. from a schematic diagram this will be available as an Excell file. Just open the file and use the features within Excell to update or edit it. It is recommended to give your edited file a different name. The reason is that as soon as you generate an update from your original design (i.e. a schematic) this will overwrtite your edited file. I found the BOM also usefulle to check for successive numbering of items. It is a bit confusing i.e. for symbols used for transformer windings or dots used to generate your own switch configurations
