It was bom_grouped_v33.py

I don’t think it should have even been in that directory.

that is a BOM generator tool from here
github.com/easyw/kicad-bom-generators
definitively it should NOT be in Footprint Wizard folder… :slight_smile:

I am trying to run the script with no success. I have got the AttributeError as @davidsrsb pointed out. All the other plugins performs flawlessly. I have copied missing Python scripts from the 4.0.7 repo.

I am using Mac OS X 10.11.6 and as for KiCad:

Application: kicad

libcurl/7.43.0 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5

  • Build Info -

    KICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU=ON
    BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON
    KICAD_USE_OCE=ON

By the way I did not figure out where to copy the PDF file.

Any help will be appreciated.

Best Regards.

For anybody reading this now (as it was linked in a current topic): We have footprint generators for IPC-7351B (with influence from the C variant) found here https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-footprint-generator (For two terminal packages like R, L and C in the script folder and for IC packages under scripts/Package)
