■ Separator chars textfield: Enter the character used in the BOM-file that
separates the reference designators. A comma (,) is the default character.
■ Designators span multiple lines check box: Select this check box if the
reference designators occupy more than one line. If each line ends up with
a separator, the End-of-line is a separator check box must also be selected.
■ Remove leading zeros check box: Check this box, if leading zeros in
reference designators must be ignored. For example, reference designator
C1 would equal C01, U6 would equal U06, and so on. If you choose not to
remove leading zeros, PPS-Pro will consider C1 to be different from C01.
