In schematic, how do I mark a part as DNP so that it shows up as DNP in the BOM?

Hi @eric_engineer,

I hope this message finds you well. The preferred way to do this is through variants. In the document section click Assembly Variants. This feature allows you to make variants of the design with different component placements, values, or attribute sets. 

After you click on the command, you'll be brought to a dialog. Click New and name your variant. Now you can control wether a part is placed or not by unchecking it's box under the appropriate variant.

In the design manager you can easily switch between the various variants. When you run the BOM.ulp look at the top left and you can select what variant to produce the BOM for.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,
