question about load CIS BOM

I have a project with several schematics.  When I need to load the CIS BOM, only the BOM of schematic that has been made root could be exported.  Why I could not export CIS BOM of all schematics in the same time?

  • That would be correct, if the schematic folders are not connected, only the root schematic will be processed since the BOM generation starts there and works through the connected schematics. You could add some hierarchical blocks to the root schematic to get the schematics connected for the purposes of a BOM but you would need to remove them for netlisting, this is potentially not too reliable. The EDA convention is one design file, one board file, one BOM that way everything works as designed.
  • Thanks yours reply!

     But it seems only one project have this problem, other project is ok to creat the CIS BOM without hierarchical block.

     Is it possible that some components have the same part reference would cause this type of problem?
