Folks, I've configured the partlister to output certain columns from the component information, but some of the included components don't contain that...
Hello, Anyone know how to get user environment variables through VBScript/Viewdraw? Dashboard has a GetEnvVariables() function, but Viewdraw doesn't have...
Hi, I am using DxDesigner ePD 2005.1 - CDB - Expedition and have a question about how I should construct my parts library. When creating a PDB entry for a part...
Hey all, I am trying to sort my BOM by 2 attributes... First I would like to sort by Sub_Circuit then i would like to sort by Material_Number Does anyone know...
Simon we do it the other way around use databook for parametric data use create pcb netlist to create the pdbs for you automatically ( pdb.hkp is auto...
Anyone have any idea how to automate the promotion of attributes that are not already on the schematic level? I am working on some old schematics and trying to...
Recently, our group has grown. The people joining our group from Santa Clara have an extensive Concept library, and we will be converting them as needed to...
Mentor is working on a converter or converters to go from DA/BSTN to DX/EXP. I've got to believe that one for Capture to DX is going to happen eventually....
Mike, What I would do is write a routine that goes thru the schematic and promotes the symbol level attribute value to the component level (or schematic level...
Orcad Capture to DX already exists, but not Concept to DX. Go Concept to Capture, Capture to DX - some cleanup will be needed, but it works. Thanks, Vern Wnek ...
Tony, Could you recommend a good place to look for some example code that shows how to query each component on the schematic? Thanks ... attribute ... ...
Does anyone know if there are available manufacturer symbol libraries, a mega file or something for DxDesigner? For example, Altium 6 has symbols set up for...
How come you don't do your production schematics and layouts using Altium? ... From: DxDesigner_Users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DxDesigner_Users@yahoogroups.com]...
Contact Optimum Design Associates. We use their libraries, they are a good group. Thanks, Vern Wnek Supervisor, PCB Layout Office: 949-926-6418 x66418 Cell:...
Seems strange mentor doesn't provide this will their tool if their competitors are providing this functionality. I can't use Altium on our production designs...
That's because Mentor in their infinite wisdom, wants you to figure out the DxDesigner object data model all by yourself ;-). Actually there isn't an "API"...
Hi all: I am a long time mentor boardstation DA user, new DX design user. Question: I cannot create a pdf file from the Tools/Dos prompt window, because of the...
I need a way to traverse hierarchical schematics to make changes to component attributes on each sheet. I am able to do this in a flat schematic by counting...
Does anyone have a script that checks if a schematic has the "UNIT" attribute and check that that attribute is the same value across the hierarchy. Thanks in...
Do you know which setting I change to get viewDRC to check for this attribute? Robert Morley, C.I.D Instrumentation Specialist Physics Electronic Resource...
