Hi: Anyone know of a way to use VB to ADD an attribute to a schematic symbol? I know how to read through all symbols and view the values of all attributes. I...
Kevin, you have to use the AddAttribute method. Depending on what you mean by "schematic symbol" you have to add the attribute to the symbol block itself...
Hi Kevin What exactly are you trying to do? - do you want to add attributes to the actual library symbol or add the attributes to the symbols within the...
Does anyone have a successful method as to how they handle DNP's? I'm looking for a way to be able to tag them, extract a parts list, and then extract the...
Hi Colleen, We set the value of the component to "OPEN". We then have a routine that removes all "OPEN" valued components from the partlist. This allows us to ...
Hi Colleen This is an age old problem and one that I've battled with in many CAD systems. I recall one organization that I worked for that insisted on having a...
Colleen, I assign a DNP attribute to every component. If the component is not installed, the value for the DNP attribute is DNP. (ie DNP=DNP). The value only...
Colleen, Just add the "CLASS" attribute with a value of "LAB" to each part that you do not want populated. The partlister will ignore all parts with this...
Hello, How do you loop through all the Pins in a symbol using VBScript? How do you create a Pin or ComponentPin object? I found these examples from the HELP...
Hello, if you have the symbol in your active view: For Each pinObj In ActiveView.Query(VDM_PIN, VD_ALL) If pinObj.Label Is Nothing Then MsgBox "No Label was...
The netlister could also ignore parts with CLASS=LAB. Controlling what is ignored is specified by attributes.ini (the first one found in your project or wdir...
