InteractiveHtmlBomForAD

Overview

InteractiveHtmlBomForAD is an innovative plugin designed for Altium Designer (AD), inspired by the original InteractiveHtmlBom for KiCad. This plugin streamlines the process of generating interactive Bill of Materials (iBOM) directly within AD, providing users with enhanced functionality and a more visually appealing output. While it primarily supports basic features for users transitioning from KiCad, it lays the foundation for a potential expansion of capabilities, allowing users to leverage the plugin for their specific design needs.
