Forum, Using Capture CIS, V23.1 Working as a consultant, I work with external customers .DSN-files sent to me as a part of a board modifications. The customers uses CIS, but I have not access to their databases. Instead, I add the different properties manually as part of the assignment. This is eg. MFR part number, Distributor order number, etc. The CIS BillOfMaterials correctly lists available properties for BOM output selection but when I try this, it will not work. Any BOM created this way does not contain the manually added properties. They appear as available in the properties selection field and double clicking on each one moves them --> into the selected properties for BOM output. The solution so far has been to use the standard BOM utility, adding header and column items manually by creating a .TXT file with all entries as well as \t {...} etc. ("Somewhat" tedious...) Then deleting the header and the data text string when invoking the BOM utility and then pasting my newly created strings into it. Is the CIS BOM not supposed to work with "disconnected" .DSN-files? Does CIS-BOM requires a connection to a local database or is there a setting somewhere that will allow the CIS BOM to be generated from a "disconnected" .DSN-file ?
