Generating BOM from PCB File

wERerABbiT

Hi All,

I'm trying to write a skill function to:-

1) Automatically select all components in a board.

2) Group the selected components by Symbol 

3) Print to file a simple BOM list.

 

For the first part the code is 

axlClearSelSet()
axlSetFindFilter(?enabled "ALL" ?onButtons "NOALL")
axlSetFindFilter(?enabled "ALL" ?onButtons "symbols")
axlAddSelectAll()

 

1) The components are all selected, but how do I access the dbids?

2) After obtaining the dbids how do I access the Reference Designator and the Symbol Name?

 

Thanks All
