Question about Attributes and BOM generation

rickford66

I'm attempting to generate a bom from my schematic using the bom_w_attributes ulp.  I have no real issues with getting this to work.  Just some questions about Eagle Attributes.  When I run bom_w_attributes.ulp, I get a window that contains all information about the parts, including the attributes that I added.  The problem is, there are attributes that I did not add, that don't seem to show up in Eagle.  Attributes such as OC_FARNELL, OC_NEWARK, etc.  I've searched for these in the ulp file itself and don't find them.  This leads me to believe that these fields are being extracted from my Eagle schematic file.  Is this the case?  Is there a way to keep them off the list?

Thanks.

    I could not find a ULP with exactly the name bom_w_attributes.ulp so cannot

    comment on the ULP code.

    Attributes such as OC_FARNELL, OC_NEWARK will be shown because you have used

    a part that has had these set in the library.

    To remove those attributes from the ULP output you could find those parts on

    your schematic and remove their attributes in the library. Alternately,

    accept them in the dialog but manually edit them out of the output file.

    I was using a generic name for the ulp.  The full name is bom_w_attr_v1.03.ulp.  I looked at some of the parts that showed info in those attributes and you are correct.  They are already present from the library.  Thanks for the info.
