BOM from PCB error

#1 Post by sundayforsammy » 29 Nov 2021, 05:38

I have just been testing DipTrace 4.2.0.1 (64-bit) and when making a BOM from the PCB all the capacitors and resistors have the same value even though they are all correct on the PCB, for example all capacitors in this package CAP_0805_M are 100n. Same with resistors of the same footprint. Am I exporting incorrectly ?

When you export BOM, there is "Group Rows by" option on the dialog window. Probably it is by component name, therefore all components with the same name are grouped in one line regardless of values. Change the settings to "Name and Value" or "Name, Value and Pattern" and export correct BOM.

Thank you Alex, that was exactly the problem for me, I don't know how I missed that.
