How to generate BOM and PCB netlist | OrCAD Capture CIS

Your Bill of Material (BOM) plays an important role in PCB layout and production. The BOM displays complete part metadata including footprints, vendor, availablity, status etc. Once the Schematic entry is complete, the designer extracts all the part information and connection details for feeding it into PCB layout. OrCAD PCB designer automatically generates the netlist in background and saves all the part information while you design the schematic. As soon as you complete the schematic, you can easily generate BOM and netlist by just one click.
