5-20: Creating and Updating BOMs
The Output Files
The BOM process generates several output files and renumbers the previous set(s)
of output files, saving only as many revisions as are specified in the configuration
file. For example, the newest to oldest .
sap
files might be .
sap
, .
sap.1
, .
sap.2
, and
so on; when a new .
sap
file is generated, it will be .
sap
, the previous will now be
.
sap.1
, the old .
sap.1
will become .
sap.2
, and the old .
sap.2
will disappear if the
SAVE_NUMBER value is 2.
The files it generates (and renumbers the next time) include those with the suffixes
changes.rev
,
_cost.lst
,
.profile
,
_proto.diff
, and
.sap
.
The relevant configuration file statement is shown for various output files
described in this section.
Added Parts File
BUILD_NEW_PARTSLIST YES
Part
_parts.lst
contains a list of all parts found as a result of the last run of
bn_bomprocess
, including parts that were added to this BOM since the previous
BOM, whether by changes to the schematic, include, depop, or changes files. This
lists all the parts; for each part, it lists: number, revision, description, total number
in design, and ref designators. (Default is No.)
