We came to a problem when extending our libraries (e.g the rlc library) by adding extra attributes and then altering the schematic by diffrent assembly variants.
Let's say I have SMD resistors library when for each variant of it I add couple of attributes e.g:
- MANUFACTURER
- PART_NUMBER
- VOLTAGE
- POWER
etc...
The problem comes up when I want to add an extra assembly variant in the schematic.
The only columns are editable (in assembly variant editor) are VALUE and TECHNOLOGY, but what if the MANUFACTURER od PART_NUMBER differs from the other variants and I want to change it anyway?
I am using attributes to automaticly generte BOM where extra columns with all the attributes are a must giving user a fast way to prepare a technical documentation (e.g BOM for each assembly variant listing all the entered attributes).
I'm dissapointed and even more surprised that it has not been implemented yet.Can you tell me the purpose of attributes which obviously I can't see?
I wish you could implement it in the future version.
