2.8 Import a CAD file with a BOM file

PPS-Pro provides two ways to import a BOM-file:

1. Import via the “Import Data”-tab (see 2.8.1 on page 26).

This method will import a BOM-file to create or replace an MDF-file.

2. Import via the “Import BOM”-tab (see 2.11.1 on page 30).

This method will import a BOM-file to update component information in the

MDF-file.

NOTE: If a CAD file is imported with Smart CAD it is possible to select Top side or

Bottom side. However no Step-and-repeat symbols will be generated on the

bottom side. These have to be added manually with the Graphical/MDF editor

see 2.13 "Graphical/MDF editor" on page 40.

2. Select a CAD file from the Choose file to import list

3. Press the Import button

4. Press the Settings... button

5. Select the Import BOM tab

6. Tick off the Import BOM File check box

7. Tick off the Strict BOM Import check box (only necessary for strict import

(see 2.11 on page 30))

8. Press the Browse... button and browse to the BOM-file

9. Press the Formats... button to startup the ‘BOM-Formats Explorer’ and

select the correct format from the list. If no correct format is available, a

new format must be made

(see 2.12.1 on page 32).
