Global Color settings for Parts

If the BOM file is loaded and columns are recognized, you have additional options to copy the component model across the board.

I discovered that the bigger the company, the longer the footprint names.
(and the names for the same thing differ.)

ZofzPCB expects to get a BOM file in text, comma-separated values (.csv) file, together with gerbers.
It recognizes the format - the separator character, summary or one component per line, and the order of columns.
You can check the result in the Components List as you do.
