Second source/"Solution 1" for components in circuitstudio without using supplier links

doov123
doov123 over 8 years ago

I have been using the supplier links for several components in a circuitstudio design.  One nice aspect of doing this is that when I export my BOM several pieces of critical information are filled in if I enable the "solution 1" checkbox as seen in the attachment (e.g. MPN)

 

I have other components and or second sources for components that are not available through the select distributors that CircuitStudio has partnered with.


How do I import the same data structure for these components?  E.g. how do I manually add "solution 1" to a component without using supplier links and or how do I add "solution 2" to a component also without using supplier links?

One interesting thing to note is that when I edit the component properties in the schematic library editor I do not see all the subfields (e.g. MPN) shown in the "solution 1" fields.

    You can manually add any number of parameters with names of your choosing to components and optionally have them display on the schematic. The BOM configuration dialog allows you to display any parameter in the report.

    Right, but that's not quite the same thing (so far as I can tell) -- I'd like to create the equivalent data structure such that these those parameters are subcategories of solution 1.  Is there a way to manually add sub parameters?

    Sorry but I don't know of any way to add sub-parameters to solution 1.
