Feeder parts list contains all parts prefer just ones in current board

[John Swenson]

I do lots of different boards (test boards) that have very little common parts from board to board. The parts library is huge. When I go to setup feeders (cut tape in blindsfeeders) I have to scroll many hundreds of parts to find the ones in my current board. Is there any way to just have the list contain parts on my current board?

Thyanks,

Hi John!
You mean, that the list of parts you can choose from when setting up a
new feeder shall be limited to the parts in the current job or any board
or even limited to thus that have no feeder assigned to yet? That's IIRC
not supported yet but could certainly improve the workflow. Please
create an issue/feature request and/or feel free to supply a PR. It
shall be not too difficult to implement just getting all the corner
cases covered (like no job loaded) will require careful testing.

Hi Jan,

yes that is exactly what I want. Going through a list of 400 parts for every feeder to find the ones in my current board is very time consuming.

I'll get a feature request in soon. New boards coming in today, going to be very busy for awhile.

Thanks,

John S.

I think you should check out Pat Degan's scripts. I can't vouch for it
existing, but he is deep into scripting everything and have Youtube
videos about it too; https://github.com/psychogenic/psypnp
