This powerful format allows you to <strong>navigate through your design visually<\/strong>, zoom into individual components, and explore all relevant data in one centralized view.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfect for engineers, purchasers, and production teams alike, the Virtual BOM bridges the gap between design data and real-world implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Benefits at a Glance:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>HTML-based export with layout preview<\/strong><br>The Virtual BOM is generated as a standalone HTML file, combining tabular component data with an embedded, zoomable PCB view. No additional software needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fully interactive views<\/strong><br>Users can click on a component entry and instantly locate it on the board, zoom into areas, and explore the design structure visually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Custom column configuration<\/strong><br>The Virtual BOM (or <strong>Virtual Component List<\/strong>) can be tailored using the <strong>Component Manager<\/strong>, where you define which data fields and columns to include \u2013 from part numbers to custom attributes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ideal for collaboration<\/strong><br>Share the HTML file with teams, suppliers or customers. Everyone gets the same clear, visual understanding of the project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Company-specific customization<\/strong><br>Like other HTML exports in PCB-Investigator, the layout can be branded with your <strong>company logo, colors, and design style<\/strong> to match your corporate identity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flexible output options<\/strong><br>Whether used as a full BOM or as a focused component list \u2013 the format adapts to your workflow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual BOM Export ensures that your material data is always <strong>accurate, up-to-date, and production-ready<\/strong>. It simplifies collaboration between engineering, procurement, and manufacturing, while eliminating the headaches of manual BOM maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f0f1f1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f0f1f1;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" data-id=\"3309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-1024x676.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3309 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-1024x676.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-768x507.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1.png 1438w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"c3dbbf\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #c3dbbf;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"503\" data-id=\"3308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-1024x503.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3308 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-1024x503.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-768x377.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-1536x754.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Virtual-BOM-Export-Manual-1-2048x1005.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcb-investigator.com\/en\/download-pcb-investigator\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#eaebef;color:#252d5c\">Download PCB-Investigator with all plug-ins for free testing &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#abb8c3\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Downloads\/Links<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manual.pcb-investigator.com\/pages\/Virtual_BOM_Export\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/manual.pcb-investigator.com\/pages\/Virtual_BOM_Export\">\u00bb PCBI-Manual | vBOM Export<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easylogix.de\/download\/Examples\/virtualExport_Example.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.easylogix.de\/download\/Examples\/virtualExport_Example.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00bbExample <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Structured BOMs, Directly from Your Design!
