Hi Guys,

Whether we can check the status of components placed inside the board outline?  

Cheers

    You can check status of component by selecting symbols in Find filter tab, then select that symbol, choose Display -> element.

    Hi VVRD,

    Let me explain the requirements. Is it possible to figure out inside the board outline, How many component placements are still pending in addition to manually counting them? similar to the display>> status.

    cheers

    Hi Jithindev,

    You can view the components to be placed on the board in Placement List tab in Placement window when you select Place -> Manually. Hope this helps. In below screenshot, I just had two components, R1 and R2, I placed R1 on board and you can see R2 in the list which wasn't placed yet.

    Thank you

    Hi VVRD,
    Thank you for the reply.
    I have one more requirement. Status of components placed inside form factor (board outline) and outside.
    Is it possible to do other than manual counting?

    Cheers,
    Jithindev

    Hello Jithin,

    You can find status of component through "Find by Query". Select Find by Query, double click on "Components" in objects tab, select "Placement Status", you can generate report.

    Thank you.
