Components that do not carry catalog information can be identified in two ways:

• Show - uses temporary graphics to indicate components on the active drawing that do not carry catalog information.
• Report - generates a report of schematic components that do not carry catalog information.

Schematic missing bill of material report

Extracts the information from the active drawing or project and displays a list of parent or stand-alone components without catalog information.

The report can be accessed in two ways:

• Find
  Schematic Reports command
   Command entry:  AESCHEMATICREPORT

  Select Missing Bill of Material from the report list.

• Find
  Missing Catalog Data command
   Command entry:  AEMISSINGCATREPORT

  Click Report.

  Missing Bill of Material is preselected from the report list.

Specify whether to process the project or the active drawing.

Category

By default, the report lists schematic components. Select a different Category to run the report for one-line, one-line bus-tap, hydraulic, pneumatic, P&ID, or user-defined components. These components are each identified by a unique WDTYPE attribute value.

Options

Specifies to include components, cable markers, connectors, or terminals in the report.

Installation Codes to Extract

Extracts only the information for components with specific installation values. Indicate to process all components that carry part number values, components without an installation code, or only components marked with a location code that matches that entered in the edit box. Wild cards are supported.

After you click Named Installation, type the installation code in the box, or click List: Drawing or List: Project to select from a list of used installation codes. You can also create a report from multiple installation codes. AutoCAD Electrical automatically creates a comma-delimited list for the named installation search.

Location Codes to Extract

Extracts only the information for components with specific location values. Indicate to process all components that carry part number values, components without a location code, or only components marked with a location code that matches that entered in the edit box. For example, BOM report for components marked "OP STA 2." Wild cards are supported.

After you click Named Location, type the location code in the box, or click List: Drawing or List: Project to select from a list of used location codes. You can also create a report from multiple location codes. AutoCAD Electrical automatically creates a comma-delimited list for the named location search.

Freshen Project Database

Specifies for AutoCAD Electrical to update the project database to include any out-of-date drawing files.

Format

Changes the format of the extracted data. The dialog box lists the format files to select from.
