interactive bom

#1 Post by fluxanode » 13 Dec 2022, 08:13

add a sort option to sort by refdes value then name to have separate lines for each refdes on individual lines so i can check mark each item as i populate the board. like having all 0.1mf caps together in a group but on individual lines for each component to check as it is added to the board

Save the projects BOM as a CSV, open it with Excel or a clone, modify the BOM to support assembly and print it.
Asking developers to format data for reports isn't a good use of their talents.

I disagree. Sorting is pretty basic and fundamental. Then why even have an interactive BOM with check marks if you can't organize it? When the object is placed it also should change the color of the object to indicate it was placed. Sorting in Excel then printing it kinda makes the interactive BOM pointless because once I sort then i'm not using the interactive BOM so what's the point. Anyway this was a suggestion, and there are workarounds, so if you point to a work around to make it usable then the feature is useless. IMO the interactive BOM is not finished. Also I am sure there are lots of other things the programmers could work on so why did they add it in the first place if they don't want suggestions to improve it? Really, why is there a feature request topic if the suggestions are just a waste of time and talents.
