Bill of Materials

Generate a bill of materials via Outputs - Bill of materials.

Check the Group checkbox to see the total quantity of each item.

Attributes in the Bill of Materials

The Columns button lets you choose which attributes appear in the bill of materials.

The list (1) shows predefined values. The text field (2) lets you add custom attribute values. Column names are case sensitive. The list (3) shows the columns that will appear in the bill of materials.

Use buttons (4) to reorder columns. Button (5) removes a column, and buttons (6) change column alignment.

Bill of Materials Configuration

At the bottom of the dialog, you can save your column configuration under a name and reuse it later.

Save a configuration: Type a name in field (7) and press the arrow to the right of it.

Load a configuration: Pick the name from the dropdown list (8).

Update a configuration: Select it from list (8), make your changes, and press the arrow next to field (7).

Delete a configuration: Select it from list (8) and press the button to the right of the list.

Bill of Materials Filter

The filter lets you control which symbols appear in the bill of materials.

In the Bill of materials window, press the Filter button. You'll see a dialog with Symbols Filter and Layers Filter tabs.

The symbols filter has two text fields. In the Include box, list the symbol names to include (leave empty to include all). In the Exclude box, list symbols to leave out.

Put each name on its own line. Partial names work too. The filter supports two special characters:

^ matches the beginning of a name. For example, ^dis matches all symbols starting with "dis".

$ matches the end of a name. For example, lay$ matches all symbols ending with "lay".

Test Area

The right side of the window shows a list of symbols you can use to test your filter. You can choose between symbols from the active document or the entire library.

Symbols from the active document appear green (passed) or red (filtered out).

Symbols from the entire library let you check whether your filter would work for symbols not in the current document. This list only shows symbols that pass the filter and is not color-coded.
