When using Eagle, it is common to encounter confusion regarding the file format when exporting BOM and Centroid files through the standard method. To address this issue, this article will guide you on how to correctly export properly formatted BOM and Centroid files using ULP.
First, download the ULP file to your computer:
Generate Centroid File:
Click ULP in Eagle’s interface.
Next, click on Browse…
Select eagle_smt.ulp
Click Save, and the Centroid file will be generated automatically.
Generate BOM File:
The initial steps to generate a BOM file are similar to those for generating a Centroid file.
Switch to the Schematics page, then click ULP → Browse…
This time, remember to select eagle_bom.ulp.
Make sure to select Values, CSV, and Comma as the delimiter.
The result will be a BOM file in CSV format.
