Saving BOM .CSV file


 

开云体育

I am trying to save the BOM as a .CSV file into the folder with the other KiCad files, but it doesn't save. Wherever I try to save it to, I get a message box that says 'Do you want to use a path relative to C:\----------filter KiCad\?' and whether I answer YES, or NO and enter a different file location, the file seems not to be saved anywhere. Please advise.

What version of Kicad are you using? And what about just saving to
C:\temp and then moving it over to the project folder?

I'm using KiCad 8.0.3. I can't even save to C:\ temp by answering 'NO' and selecting the folder C:\temp.

This is wierd. You're running on Windows 10 or 11 or some other
version? Or are you running on linux? Can you do a screen shot maybe
of your errors?

I had a similar problem until I realised that I had to hit the "Export" button at the bottom of that window.
?
I hope that helps?
