How can you add attributes for ALL Parts ?

HI Olin,

These "Global" attributes are for the current BOM List ( or PartsList of

the Project) not for all the parts in the eagle library, But I would what

them for all my parts in MY Library.

The idea is that every time I make a new board I make a new BOM and all the

DATA for purchasing/manufacturing has to be ENTERED in each time, This is a

very important part of the process.

During design I wish to "LOCK IN"  info at least as far as Manufacturers

part numbers, where I can source them, and some kind of way I can

communicate this info with my suppliers, WITHOUT having to create all this

on Spreadsheets! I don't want to maintain a separate spreadsheet for this

Important information, I want it "LOCKED" in with my project,

I would even like to type in design notes for each part.

Having said that I would probably want my data to be stored IN MY DATABASE

of parts ( My Library ) So that when I choose parts, all the info will be

available in my new design, If I need to create new parts I will do this in

MyLibrary, But those Default attributes will be there to "Prompt" Me for

the info,and enter it in once I have firmed up the details of each part.

I know that pricing changes, But  part of my job is to Cost up the BOM to

decide if the design if feasible. Make changes and re-cost. This is best

done in EagleCad as I am making changes, Not a separate spreadsheet.

The circuit group attribute would be for the BOM , not the library list,

This is so I can "group" parts ( and data) for separate parts of the

circuit ( i.e power supply etc)

Thanks
