How do I do a custom part list?

Former Member

I want to generate a part list that shows an attribute I have added to my

parts.

 

I'd like to store a part number with every part.  I don't necessarily want

that shown on the schematic or the place layers.  I used to use the "value"

field, but that gets shown and some parts don't let me enter a value, so I

started adding an attribute (i.e. "DIGIKEY") to all the parts in my

schematic.  Now it's time to do a parts list, and I'd like this attribute

displayed as a column in my parts list.

 

How do I do this easily?

 

If there's not an easy way to do this, is there a way to export the

schematic as text that I can postprocess outside of Eagle?

    You can create your own attributes that can be shown or not on the

    schematic as you want.  Look up the ATTRIBUTE command.

    Please read my entire post.  I know how to make attributes.  This would be

    obvious if you had read the post.  I want to know how to display those

    attributes in a column when I make my parts list.
