I'd like to create a hardware library under the design library. When you place a part into it, you are asked to enter a file name and description. It places it in with the file name. I would like the description to be what I see in the library not the part number. I know you can hover over it and see it but this is not practical when you have hundreds of hardware. I don't care what the number is when I'm building and assembly, I just know I need an 8-32 x .500 long screw.....but I want the part number and description (which is added in the custom properties in each file), to show up in the BOM. Can this be done and if so how?
Thanks - Jim
