Devices and/or part numbers are appearing on reports but I can find no evidence of them in the project. There are no symbols placed for these devices, but they are affecting the quantity on the bill of materials. I see device tags surrounded by square brackets on dialogs.
The Remove Unplaced Devices button was added to the BOM Explorer tab of Project Manager in SELECTseries 7 (08.11.12.xx). It removes devices that have no associated symbols placed in the project. These devices may have been added using BOM Explorer, imported into the project, existed as symbols that have since been deleted from the page, or left behind by some other workflow.
Select the BOM Explorer tab of Project Manager. Tabs are along the bottom of Project Manager.
The Remove Unplaced Devices button is near the top of the BOM Tree pane.
Devices in the project that have no symbols inserted should appear with the ID icon in a darker/bold color and the device tag may be surrounded by brackets. Right-click such device tags and select Remove.
Use this method at your own risk. This process performs the same operations as the Remove Unplaced Devices button, so when available, use Remove Unplaced Devices. If this button is not present on BOM Explorer, consider upgrading to the latest version.
