Structured BOMs, Directly from Your Design!
The Virtual BOM Export in PCB-Investigator is more than just a standard bill of materials – it creates a dynamic, HTML-based overview that combines your BOM with an interactive PCB layout preview. This powerful format allows you to navigate through your design visually, zoom into individual components, and explore all relevant data in one centralized view.
Perfect for engineers, purchasers, and production teams alike, the Virtual BOM bridges the gap between design data and real-world implementation.
Key Benefits at a Glance:
- HTML-based export with layout preview
The Virtual BOM is generated as a standalone HTML file, combining tabular component data with an embedded, zoomable PCB view. No additional software needed.
- Fully interactive views
Users can click on a component entry and instantly locate it on the board, zoom into areas, and explore the design structure visually.
- Custom column configuration
The Virtual BOM (or Virtual Component List) can be tailored using the Component Manager, where you define which data fields and columns to include – from part numbers to custom attributes.
- Ideal for collaboration
Share the HTML file with teams, suppliers or customers. Everyone gets the same clear, visual understanding of the project.
- Company-specific customization
Like other HTML exports in PCB-Investigator, the layout can be branded with your company logo, colors, and design style to match your corporate identity.
- Flexible output options
Whether used as a full BOM or as a focused component list – the format adapts to your workflow.
Virtual BOM Export ensures that your material data is always accurate, up-to-date, and production-ready. It simplifies collaboration between engineering, procurement, and manufacturing, while eliminating the headaches of manual BOM maintenance.
