This plugin generates a convenient Bill of Materials (BOM) listing with theability to visually correlate and easily search for components and their placementson the PCB. It is particularly useful when hand-soldering a prototype, as it allowsusers to quickly find locations of components groups on the board. It is also possibleto reverse lookup the component group by clicking on a footprint on the board drawing.

The plugin utilizes Pcbnew python API to read PCB data and render silkscreen, fab layer,footprint pads, text, and drawings. BOM table fields and grouping is fully configurable,additional columns, such as a manufacturer ID, can be added in Schematic editor andimported either through the netlist file, XML file generated by Eeschema's internalBOM tool, or from board file itself.

There is an option to include tracks/zones data as well as netlist information allowingdynamic highlight of nets on the board.
