We are a user of Multisim and Ultiboard and have been for many years. We have appreciated that there are user fields in the data base that we can populate with our company specific information including Part Numbers and descriptions.
Here is the Good idea . . . We would like to be able to have our Part Numbers display on schematics and appear in BOM reports and also transfer to Ultiboard. Transferring to Ultiboard is important so that the Part Numbers appear on the Centroid Output. Currently this can be done in Multisim by copying and pasting the PN into the Label field however, this a very tedious task and it leads to errors especially on large schematic designs. As for BOM reports, it is also a very tedious task that takes a long time.
With Ultiboard, this is also a manual process of copying the Part Numbers from the schematic to the Centroid output for our machine machine programs. (SMT)
This seems like these would be very useful tools for an operation who is using your software for both design and manufacturing. Please consider adding this feature to the next update.
