Schematic and Panel Reports

[Anonymous]

So, my company has just been migrating to using footprints in panel models oppose to just using "dumb" blocks. Everything seems to be working great except we are now having troubles with reports and BOM's. We do not want to run separate reports for both the BOM and the schematics.

Is there anyway we can run a complete report that gathers all the schematic items and footprint items at the same time? In the process though, we need to be sure we are not ordering duplicates of items that have a footprint AND schematic info. 

I guess what I'm wondering is how you guys order panel enclosure using footprints that don't have  schematic parents? A good example would be as found in the footprint icon menu when inserting panel enclosures.

Any help would be much appreciated.

best regards,

Kyle

You can run a Full report from the Panel Report that will include and combine the panel and the schematic BOM.

Aha! Awesome thanks Danny.

Another question stemming from that. Why wouldn't the Schematic Report hold this same feature? Has my workflow possibly been incorrect for some time now?

You're welcome!

I guess it's just the crazy way they programmed it. The Schematic one will not cover anything that was inserted using the Panel's Icon Menu (footprints). For this reason I never use the Schematic BOM report.
