Gentlemen, I am a new user of ePD, (former OrCAD user), so please be gentle. I am creating custom symbols and adding attributes. I created the attribute...
I'd go with Viewdraw - or, as it is called now, DxDesigner (the actual executable file is still named viewdraw.exe). It's the schematic capture program most...

You won't be able to move it until you change it. Question: How are you trying to change the attribute once it is in the schematic? Hint: If the attribute...

There is another way to accomplish what you are requesting. In this scenario, we are talking about an attribute that should always have a component level...

Hello and help! Can someone please show me how to use VBScript to ReRead all the sheets in a schematic? I imagine it's probably 6 lines long, but my VBScript...

Gentlemen, How do you typically handle unconnected pins? We have created a symbol named NO_CONNECT that is similar to OrCADs, but it also creates a net that is...
For pins that are NOT specified as no connect pins within your symbol you must use a net stub to eliminate error messages when creating a PCB net list. The...
I have the "no connect" message set to report as a "Note" rather than a "Warning." This way the unconnected pins are listed for verification purposes, but...

You can also add an attribute "NC" to the part symbol and list the unused pins in the value field separated by comma's. Ernie Ernest J. Kreiner CMC Electronics...
But you'll still get messages from PowerPCB saying "removed one pin net X". Back-annotation will remove all of your stubs, and you'll get the No Connect...

Patricia, Please forgive my original greeting. I think I would have the same issue. In PowerPCB, there will actually be a net that connects all of the NC pins...
Dave, Use of the NC attribute in the symbol will not generate any warnings when you generate your netlist. We use it on large FPGA's and such all the time....
Hey, check the Attribute Glossary in the online help (Help -> Viewdraw Help Topics). You can attach the NC attribute to individual component pins to suppress...
Jay Use NC as attribute (not label) will eliminate error messages when you creating a PCB netlist. And modify PADS.cfg CHKBRD _SGL_PIN_NET WRN 0 | Single pin...
You have to edit the cfg file to see the NC as a note or disable it. I forgot to include this in my last message. Patricia Lestelle Technical Support Services...
So apparently you can view Pads decals in ePD 3.0. Anyone know how to set this up? I searched for the word 'decal' in every ePD help file I could find, but...
there is a new button on the toolbar in Viewdraw that looks like an IC. click it and a window opens, click your symbol and it shoes you the decal. Pretty...
I got that far, my problem is that when I click it, that window says "No Decal" and I don't see any instructions on how to troubleshoot that problem. I have...
