Hi Scandey,
Thaks for you reply.
I will give you 3 points that why I need legacy method of BOM output:
- The new method can’t export to xlsx format, which is the best BOM format for me and PCBA supplier.
Maybe you will say csv format is also very popular, but unfortunately, the MS office’s Chinese character support is very bad in csv format, but in xlsx format there is no issue on it. I know it’s not KiCAD’s issue( and it’s MS office’s issue), but currently the best solution for us is to epxort BOM format as xlsx file format using legacy method and KiBOM plugin.
2.New methond can’t support variant system which is very import for me. Using legacy method and KiBOM, I can achieve variant function easily. - I have asked some body in form to have a very useful plugin to analysis test point using legacy method, here is the post:
Could anyone have a python script to export the relationship between net and test point - Schematic - KiCad.info Forums
And this plugin is very useful for me, it saves me a lot of time during my work, and I think this is the best plugin for me to analysis test point, much better than Orcad/AD…
So for me, the legacy method of exporting BOM is very important for me, I always want to use legacy method instead.
