If you think about it, every component placed in the PCB requires some level of placement and routing effort, which takes time (and money if you’re working for a client). These entries are used to tell your PCB assembler “the bare board was designed to mount these components, but please do not include these parts in the final assembly.” This comment is either “DNP” (do not populate) or “DNI” (do not include). Also, the user has the option of saving the configuration so that when a similar table is inserted next time, data range, number of title rows and field definition will be applied in the same manner.If you’ve ever looked at the BOM for a reference design or an open-source project, you may have seen a comment in some of the entries in your BOM. Now the user will be able to see imported parts in the library. Then the user can import by clicking on the same button to import. A report is generated for the user after the Compare button is selected. Last but not least, data comparison is performed before importing, since the data listed to be processed will be compared to the software data, so that before validation user can know which elements will be created and updated.
Once the attribute is dropped in the column, a checkmark will appear next to the attribute indicate column has been defined with that attribute. Simply increase the title row number, then the titles will be in bold font.ĭefining field data is a simple drag-n-drop procedure where the user drags the attribute to the correct column. Title row is usually the first row of the sheet, SOLIDWORKS Electrical can take account of the title into the configuration so that titles will not be mixed with import data.
When we defining data range, make sure the “Part” is selected on the left side. Users will be able to browse through different sheets. Once the file is selected, the field will be displayed in the same fashion as in excel. Since excel is a common format for most of the Bill of Material, an excel file is selected in this case. Then select the data source from either an Excel file or a text file. Under Manufacturer parts manager select Import The import wizard in SOLIDWORKS Electrical allows for bulk loading components with ease.
