You can get to the Component Manager through developer » Component Manager. It displays a list of all components that are part of your design and shows you the exact number seperated by their occurance on the top and bottom side right below the closing option in the top right corner of the dialog. The checkboxes allow you to customise which columns should be shown in the list on the right. You can even save your list structure as a local profile to use in the future or export it as an XML file, for example, to give it to a colleague. This way, for instance, you can make sure that you only have those columns for further automatic processing a machine expects. Of course it is also possible to directly print the whole list by clicking the printer icon or save it as a CSV file somewhere on your computer.

Use case - Search & sort:
Like every other list in PCB-Investigator this one too is search- and sortable via the input fields and sorting buttons below the individual column name above the list on the right. A common use case would be wanting to know all components whose height exceed e.g. 6mm (you can change the used unit in the dropdown to switch between mm and mils). To achieve this you first have to check the show checkbox for height in the left component list to add the component height column to the list on the right. Then you click into the input field right below the "Height" column and write ">6" (please note that for this to work there mustn\'t be a space between the greater than sign and your number) into it. The algorithm gets to work immediately and hides all components smaller than 6 of the set unit. The result can of course be selected, printed, as well as exported.

Use case - Sum up:
The Sum Up option lets you group your result list according to one specific column e.g. the part name. A common use case would be getting the Bill of Material. To achieve this select the Sum Up radio button beside the part name entry in your left list. You get one entry per summed up part name in the right list that tells you how many components have the respective part number in common. Now you know, e.g. for placing your next order, how many components of each type you need to assemble one board.
