#194 Create parts list does not show the symbol part

[Anat]

Create parts list does not show the symbol part in the text file.

I made a symbol with part A and part B.
I expect to see it in the parts list, in the line, near the symbol reference, but it does not show at all.
so I can't know from the text file which part is in the design (A or B).

am I miss understand something ?
should it show the part A or B ?
I will appriciate a clarification about it.

it behave the same in the netlist in the XML

currently using version 2.80.08 build #631

I just export the symbol to XML.
I saw the part A and part B are just shows as sheet of tinyCAD.
it means all the game with the parts are just inside the tinyCAD software. just for choosing A or B when placing the symbol in the design sheet.
It would have been nice though if it would be also in the text file for the design, for human reading.

The parts list is a list of the parts you would buy to make the design.
If there are multiple sections in a symbol it does not make a difference to the part.
Example:-
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
C2,C4,C5,C6,C8 5 Cap_SM,Capacitor,C0805,1.0uF
U3 1 HC125,Quad 3-state bus buffers,SO14
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
For this design you would buy 5 capacitors and 1 IC.
This IC contains 4 sections (A..D) but is only 1 part.

The description following the quantity is made from whatever you have put into the symbol parameters. In this case:-
Name is 'HC125'
Package is 'SO14' ( I added this parameter to the symbol)
and the description is: 'Quad 3-state bus buffers'

Hope that helps
