Use a predefined range for your Refdes on the reuse block such as R5000, U5000 etc. If you use Allegro , and re-sequence refdes before fab, a letter prefix...
If you are talking about creating a separate cross reference report/file, I am not aware that Scout will do that. You can get Scout to add net attributes to...
Howdy Folks, I have a question about pin swapping with a programmable device. I'm running PowerPCB v5.2 (ie PADS Layout) and ViewDraw 8.3 in ePD 2004. The...

How are you performing the ECO compare? If you are comparing the PCB to the schematics, you are doing it wrong. What you should be doing is using the ECO file...
Thanks Jason, When I export an ascii design file from Pads and put that along with the eco file in the working directory of my schematic I can successfully...
Try Generating an ECO file directly from the 2 PowerPCB files, the original and the final. instead of the Viewdraw ASC and latest PowerPCB. Hopefully your...
Has anyone created a component xref table showing REFDES, Page # and Zone? I think it could be done with Scout but I don't know how to do it. I am using...
A far as I know, it can not be done with Scout. I was told people have requested that Scout be able to generate external XREF reports like the older XREF...
I want to use Scout to show net cross references between pages. It is useful when visually checking the schematic for mistakes and when debugging in the lab. ...
Hi, I'm using DxDesigner to open and edit an existing project. When I go to change something on the schematic I get the following window: Schematic Locked by ...
Go into the project root directory, the sch folder, and then the lock directory. Delete the schematic file in that directory. ________________________________...
We have only one table entry, but the Viewdraw symbols are named similarly, with a -1, -2, etc. Then in DxDatabook, the symbol uses the root name with the "*'...
We list each hetero symbol either explicitly (symbol_a.1,symbol_b.1) or using the wild card * (symbol_*) that way they show up in the pull down list. Any other...
We use hetero symbols in DxDatabook and have one entry for each base symbol that makes up the hetero. For example for an op-amp we have gate.1 and gate.2 (one ...
For hetero symbols we use one DX entry for each hetero symbol, and enable "Display records with different symbols as a single row". Just as a side note, we...
Has anyone tried to set-up their symbols so the information in them can be used for both PADS and Allegro? The problem I am trying to solve is my PADS ...
We considered using non-standard names for the PKG_TYPE and DEVICE attributes and our VAR (Avid-Tech) strongly recommended that we avoid it. Their concern was ...
Hello, You Can edit your Allegro.cfg file to map (converter) the "PADS" PKG_TYPE to Allegro fottprint names. Thanks Yossi BeginAlsRules PKG PKG_TYPE PADS...
I would add a second pkg_typ attribute just as you suggested and then edit the appropriate .cfg file. Personally, I would probably keep the initial pkg_type...
You can do exactly that - you just need to alias the ALLEGRO_PKG_TYPE and PADS_PKG_TYPE in each of the pcb configuration values to the desired property. The...
I'll try to get it to work, and I'm sure I'll have some more questions, but I'm glad to know others believe this should work. My thanks to everyone who ...
It can be done using Scout. We have Scout add an attribute to any component having a REFDES, called SCHLOC, containing that component's location on the sheet...
Does Scout assign the SCHLOC value? Can you send the VB file? Thanks Mike Chombeau Validation Hardware Oregon 503-264-1808 ________________________________ ...
I wasn't able to find a slicker way to update my schematic so I bit the bullet and did all of the pin updating by hand. What fun! I suppose I should be...
