6- This plugin generates convenient BOM listing with ability to visually correlate
7- and easily search for components and their placements on the pcb.
8-
9- This is really useful when hand soldering your prototype and you have to find 50
10- places where 0.1uF cap should be or which of the SOP8 footprints are for the same
11- micro. Dynamically highlighting all components in the same group on the rendering
12- of the pcb makes manually populating the board much easier.
13-
14- This plugin utilizes Pcbnew python bindings to read pcb data and render
15- silkscreen, fab layer, footprint pads, text and drawings. Additionally it can
16- pull data from schematic if you export it through netlist or xml file that
17- Eeschema can generate from it's internal bom tool. That extra data can be added
18- as additional columns in the BOM table (for example manufacturer id) or it can be
19- used to indicate which components should be omitted altogether (dnp field). For

6+ This plugin generates a convenient Bill of Materials (BOM) listing with the
7+ ability to visually correlate and easily search for components and their placements
8+ on the PCB. It is particularly useful when hand-soldering a prototype, as it allows
9+ users to quickly find locations of components groups on the board. It is also possible
10+ to reverse lookup the component group by clicking on a footprint on the board drawing.
11+
12+ The plugin utilizes Pcbnew python API to read PCB data and render silkscreen, fab layer,
13+ footprint pads, text, and drawings. BOM table fields and grouping is fully configurable,
14+ additional columns, such as a manufacturer ID, can be added in Schematic editor and
15+ imported either through the netlist file, XML file generated by Eeschema's internal
16+ BOM tool, or from board file itself.
17+
18+ There is an option to include tracks/zones data as well as netlist information allowing
19+ dynamic highlight of nets on the board.
