How to exclude a component form the BOM

Is there a way I can exclude a component from the BOM? I'm sure there's a way to do this but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

Static via properties

The answer to this one has got to be obvious, but I can't seem to find it. I usually have static vias NOT covered by solder mask, but I thought I'd change it to see how the boards look. The manual says "while being exported into Gerber, Static Vias have usual Via properties, that is, they can b...

Can't turn off title block on individual sheet

I have my BOM on a page by itself and I need to turn off the title block and sheet borders so it will fit. When I go to titles and sheet setup, any changes I make affect all sheets even though I have selected "current sheet". I can turn the title blocks and sheet borders on for all sheets ...

"Get component"

I spend as much time placing components on a board as I do generating the schematic. I am realizing that much of this time is spent in locating a part and dragging it to it's intended location. How about a "get component" function that would invoke a search box either from a hotkey or from...

Refresh ratlines

While I am arranging components on a board I frequently "renew design from schematic" even though there are no changes to the schematic because it refreshes the ratlines and makes it much easier to see where the connections are going. It would be helpful to have a hotkey combination that w...

Re: where is the schematic symbol for a vga (de-15) connecto

Hmmm....our VGA monitors have 7 in one row and 8 in the other row. Shouldn't be too hard to create a custom component, though. -Rick -- 19 May 2011, 08:17 -- unfortunately, the DB15F is not the VGA-style connector (3 rows of 5), but the 2-row (7+8) one like, for example, what used to be on joysticks...

Re: where is the schematic symbol for a vga (de-15) connecto

Look in the CONNECTORS library. Isn't it the DB15F part?

Have net ports indicate connectivity

I use lots of single-pin net ports to connect to a single net port on another page. It is easy to mis-type one of the net port names and not realize that it is not connected to another page. Would it be possible to have the net port symbol change colors when it is connected- much the same way as a b...
