Hallo ADS Community,
the parts list generator (Schematic Window Menu: File / Reports / Parts Lists) seams to be buggy.
At least for the 'Agilent EEsof (netlist format)'.
(Version ADS2006-Update 3)
It displays the result and saves with the name of the design visible in the schematic window. However, the content of the file might be from a different design currently open.
When closing all other designs the part list generator works as intended and uses the signle open schematic.
In case that is helpful for you, please share your found bugs as well with us.
Greetings from Wiehl/Germany,

Thank you for sharing your observations with us.
Based on your description I have tried to duplicate here what you are seeing with the Parts List feature in ADS 2006 Update 3. The only time I see more parts listed (than what is apparent in the current circuit) is when there is hierarchy to the circuit. Any sub-network instance placed in the current circuit will have it's contents listed in the resulting parts list. In the parts listing, the sub-network's design name precedes the list of its parts.
One thing that I am seeing that may be working as designed but viewed as incorrect or buggy behavior is when sub-networks are deactivated. The contents of deactivated sub-networks are included in the current circuit's parts listing. Intuitively, I would expect the contents of any deactivated sub-network instances to be excluded from current circuit's parts listing. Perhaps this is what you are seeing?
If you are seeing something different or inconsistent behavior of the Parts List feature, please provide more details if possible. If you happen to have an example that demonstrates the incorrect/inconsistent behavior you are seeing, that would really help us get to the bottom of the problem.
Please send any example you may have to our main Tech Support email at eesof_support@agilent.com ([email:1hm0j1ba]eesof_support@agilent.com[/email:1hm0j1ba]) along with a brief description of the problem. A case will be opened and dispatched to a Support Enginner who will follow up with you.
