Thanks very much, Andy. That icon is called 'Edit symbol fields' in version 8.0.2, which is a correct name but misleading. It is in fact a BOM, formatted the way I proposed in my bleat about the official one.

I'm still using V 6 as I've been out of action with a long stay in
hospital so I've not upgraded for quite a while. The basic problem is
that I don't know my left from right :-)

4th Icon from the right on my pretty much default setup.
I've sent this directly to you as well just in case the attachment does
not work on the list

Sorry to be persistent, Andy, but I am using version 8.0.2 and I can't 
find that icon on the Schematic toolbar. It goes Save, Schematic set-up, 
Page settings, Print, Plot, Paste...

I think that the BOM formatting may be editable in 8.0.2, but I will 
look at that later.

As for the BOM, well that's why BOM / stock control systems cost
thousands.

That said, it should cope with something that simple, and give you
3x10pf silver mica or some such.

BOM is not something I use that much, I've usually got all the data
already assembled in a spreadsheet.

Thanks, but I do not know what 'table layout view' is. How do I find it?

I notice that the BOM generator is buggy. It doesn't cope correctly with
several components having the same value and footprint. If it's not easy
to put, say C5, C6, C7 all in column 1, it would be better to use three
rows than spread the data across seven columns, with wrong content in
several of them.

You should be able to do that on the table layout view Just cut and past
as required in the footprint field.

Yes, I did, but the connections and crossings seem to be preserved. Now
I wish that there was a way to assigning the same footprint to all the
resistors in one operation, instead of 61 separate operations. It's a
smaller issue with capacitors, because they don't have all the same
footprint.
