Re: Bill of Materials Generator Feedback

 

If I change a value I re-generate the project so the change is inluded in all the files, schematic, netlist, board.

As for heatsinks I have symbols for that if I feel I need to indicate that in the schematic, if not I just add the heatsink footprint in pcbnew.

I disagree, I find it to be the oposite of what you are saying.

The BOM should be generated from within pcbnew as this is the last time you can change or add the parts on the design.

You’ve never changed a resistor or capacitor value after bringing up a first-article board?

Also, if there are symbols on the schematic that doesn't have a footprint they have nothing to do on the list of materials that should be ordered.

What about heatsinks that attach to TO-220 packages?
