- This is really useful when hand soldering your prototype and you have to find 50

- This plugin utilizes Pcbnew python bindings to read pcb data and render

- silkscreen, fab layer, footprint pads, text and drawings. Additionally it can
16
- pull data from schematic if you export it through netlist or xml file that
17

18
- as additional columns in the BOM table (for example manufacturer id) or it can be
19

+ This plugin generates a convenient Bill of Materials (BOM) listing with the
7
+ ability to visually correlate and easily search for components and their placements
8
+ on the PCB. It is particularly useful when hand-soldering a prototype, as it allows
9
+ users to quickly find locations of components groups on the board. It is also possible
10
+ to reverse lookup the component group by clicking on a footprint on the board drawing.

12
+ The plugin utilizes Pcbnew python API to read PCB data and render silkscreen, fab layer,
13
+ footprint pads, text, and drawings. BOM table fields and grouping is fully configurable,
14
+ additional columns, such as a manufacturer ID, can be added in Schematic editor and
15
+ imported either through the netlist file, XML file generated by Eeschema's internal
16
+ BOM tool, or from board file itself.
17
+
18
+ There is an option to include tracks/zones data as well as netlist information allowing
19
+ dynamic highlight of nets on the board.
