You are probably familiar with such a problem. You’ve got BOM and it doesn’t include all properties you need. How to get rid of all Excels.

n this video today, we will demonstrate how to set a precise set of properties when extracting data from Altium Designer BOM using OpenBOM. We extract data from the Altium Designer BOM report. But the tricky part is Altium Project Template.

Watch the video to learn how to do so.

Conclusion

Extracting the right data to BOM with the minimum click is our goal. If you can see, we use a dedicated BOM extraction mechanism tailored for each specific CAD system. Request access to Altium Designer CAD add-in try to extract BOM from Altium using our add-in. Tell us what do you think.
