Hello again Dave, I tried that too but only one bom .rpt output. Here is what I did.... 1. I added property BOM=1 by Property name BOM, type 1 2. Packaged the design: 3. Ran BOM from Concept menu / Tools / Packager Utilities / Bill of Material Questions??? 1. Do I have to set anything in the packager to pass BOM property? 2. Do I have to set anything in the BOM Template file? 3. How does it know to create 2 BOMs? 4. We are using Concept HDL v.15.7.....How do I know which program it is running? (i.e. cnhdlbom) Your suggestion sounds great, but I need to know how to get it all set up to output both boms. Thanks again for your feedback. Does anybody else use this method? Regards, Mark David Kelly (davidkel) wrote: Hi I stirred you wrong. I needed to be more specific. The property needs to be BOM=1 and BOM=2 etc. or BOM=NONE. Then the program cnhdlbom should create the separate files.

How do you get Bom_1 and Bom_2 to create two different BOM's. We just tried it and only one bom.rpt was generated. Added property and value of TRUE. 1. We need to have bom_ignore for the "main model" 2. How do we get "Not installed" parts removed from the 2nd model? 3. Then we need different values for components to package into different bom's. Is there some BOM setup that has to be made in order to creat more than one bom? Thanks, Mark David Kelly (davidkel) wrote:Mark What we have done in the past is use BOM_NONE for the parts you don't want in the BOM. And BOM_1 for the first version and BOM_2 for the second version and so on. When you run the BOM output it will create separate BOMs 1,2 .... Hope this is what you are looking for.

We use BOM_IGNORE for do not install components. We want to use a single schematic and .brd with three separate model builds. Meaning three different population and component values. Example: Model | bom_ignore | Value (R1) | Model A | TRUE | 1K | Model B | FALSE | 2K | Model C | TRUE | 3K | In the past, we have done the following: 1. Add BOM_IGNORE in schematic for any nopops in main model. 2. Any other model nopops or value differences are noted in a tble on the schematic. 3. PNP data is for main model only. 3.a. Secondary model PNP data must be modified manually per table in schematic. 4. List nopop and value differences in assembly drawing. (Manually) Any suggestions are welcome!
