	Maybe you would like to have only some parts of your schematic be part of the BoM. Maybe thoseof a certein schematic page. As mentioned above only parts being placed on the layout can become part of the BoM. That means what you get in the BoM is defined by what you have placed in the layout.

	You could create modules to select the components you want: Select all components on a schematic page and use menu point "Group as a module" (see menu on image 1). Give the module a meaningful name and then select it in the BoM dialog:<br><br>		You could create modules to select the components you want: Select all components on a schematic page and use menu point "Group as a module" (see menu on image 1).

	Another idea is to use the autoplacer when the layout is empty: It allows the placement of parts only of a certain schematic page. See layout menu '''Actions/Launch Autoplacer'''.

	A click '''[[M11]]''' to the empty line at the bottom of the list (arrow) allows the establishing of new and individual properties which later can be listed in the BoM. After all properties of a part have been entered, select menu [[File]]/[[Input/Output Formats]]/[[File transfer/Documentation]]/"Bill of Material". Component ID, Package ID and manufacturer can be listed ~~since TARGET 3001! V15.3.0.65~~. ~~Now~~ TARGET 3001! generates a list in a text ~~file~~ (~~for example: test~~.stk) ~~containing all parts used on your [[PCB]]~~.<br><br><br>		A click '''[[M11]]''' to the empty line at the bottom of the list (arrow) allows the establishing of new and individual properties which later can be listed in the BoM.
