Prerequisites
- A FireCAD project must be open
Overview
Exports the Bill of Materials for the whole project to Excel: every part with its quantity, manufacturer, part number, description, CSFM listing, approvals and mounting. With Show Internal Assembly Components on (the default), each panel's cards and boards are listed too, grouped at the end.
Steps
- On the FireCAD Tools tab, open the Export panel and choose Export Bill of Material to Excel (or type
ATEXPORT_BOM_REPORT) - In the Save As window, pick the folder and file name and click Save
- In Report Settings, set the columns and options. There is no circuit list: the BOM always covers the whole project
- Click Accept. The workbook opens in Excel
Tips
- The Include Existing Parts checkbox in Report Settings controls whether existing devices are counted
