Ladies and Gentlemen -
I may be doing something wrong, but if so I would appreciate someone telling me what my error is. I am using KiCAD Version 6.0.4, on a Windows 10 Platform. I have placed an edited bom.ini file in the project directoy and edited it to include the Description field. When I use the KiBOM utility to extract the BOM I MAY get a line similar to the following:
Comp Ref Value Description Part
(#) R2 0 Resistor, US Symbol R_US
The Description and Part are incorrect – in this particular case of R2 the VALUE is 0, but the description in the actual part property pane is “RES, 0, 1%, 0402”. There is, in fact, no “Part” field in my component descriptors. The Manufacturer and Manufacturer Part number do come through correctly.
So how do I get the description to come through correctly? Note – In SOME components it does come through correctly.
Any help is appreciated!
