(1) Please add the ability to update the BOM with current settings, rather than re-created it each time!
It forgets its settings, even reverts to Vector font and a HUGE size each time the app is restarted.
It should choose a font size to match the width of a printed page in landscape mode. Then we can re-size it, if desired.
But starting out with a crazy large font size, compared to the component text size is undesirable.
(2) When the BOM is on a hierarchical sheet, fill in the rows, regardless of whether that sheet is used on the main sheet!
1. Objects > BIll of Materials...
2. Create on: Each Sheet
3. Place Table
4. click anywhere on the sheet
An empty BOM table is created if it is not referenced from the main sheet.
This is a summary BOM, as it is created on a sub-sheet - not on the main page or its own non-hierarchical sheet.
So we want it to inlude all parts on this sheet in the BOM table.
(3) Separate settings for the global vs. local BOM
For a BOM per page, we want fewer columns - just a summary.
Remember the settings and change between them.
(4) Remove empty columns checkbox
There should be an option to remove empty columns, since they take a log of horizontal space, if no component uses them!
(5) Allow dynamic column changes
It's so 1980's to force us to re-generate the table each time we want to change anything!
(6) Alternative Formatting
Some fields, such as very long assembly notes, or re-ordering URLs can be as long as the entire table width without that field!
So please allow those fields to be placed in its own row, rather than hanging far out to the side.
BOM Updates?
Re: BOM Updates?
Thank you for the suggestions. I will add them to our feature list.
