hi, I have some questions about the part type in Pads Layout. when i have a PCB and i need to do a comparison with the schematics using DxD link for...
hi, i have diffrent sheet in a flat project and i want to modify it to be hierarchical. so, i try to generate symbols from sheets but as a result i got an...
For inventory purposes we are trying to track parts and symbols added to a schematic. When you do a symbol copy from one sheet to another, is there an...
Hi Kyle, I guess you could try to use the instance number, but I'm not sure if it would re-use one from a previously instantiated and then deleted symbol. ...
... The symbol does not exist in the schematic, it exists in some symbol library. So when you copy a symbol, you are just creating a new instance reference,...
Instance numbers are sequential and not repeated. A higher number means that it was placed on the schematic at a later time. ________________________________...
Hi Gary, I'd believe that...but how does that work? Is there somewhere in the file kept a tally of instance number used? For example, if I have a $1I432, and...
Hi Gary, ... Not sure what you mean here. Sure, the instance line in the text files start with i...but I don't see how that relates to what we're talking...
... Gary is referring to the line whcih starts with 'i'. It has a number after it which is the last instance number used in the current page. Actual component...
Using Dx, the schematic and symbol file line starting with 'i' will never decrement. Naturally, with a text editor, one can change it. But using DxD tools...
Hi Dan, The instance numbers also have a page identifier...as in $1I234 is page 1, $3I432 is page 3. But, you answered my question...which was the non-page ...
Hello, I'm trying to conceive a way to manage schematic projects with a revision control software with the new 2007 package. With 2005 (PADs Flow), I had been...
Recently we've been seeing the odbc dsn entry in WinXP (w/SP2 or SP3) loosing the path to the .mdb file which contains the parts data for databook, so when...
Hello. Does anyone know how to make the border (sheet) fill up the screen? When I added a new page (sheet) to the schematic. The sheet did not fill up the...
Chan, you should select a border size according to the sheet size (project settings > border tab) The white box you see is the sheet size, the border is...
froxxx1, I have a similar problem, we were using a DxDataManager(crappy mentor CVS) in our corporate environment and now are not sure how to redevelop our...
I am in a similar situation. We treat schematic pages as 'source files'. We routinely pass them around to share in different designs, treat them as templates...
Here's a tip to save you a lot of frustration: Update your Dx software to 2007.3 and get the latest update, (currently Update 9a). 2007.2 had a number of...
hi, how can i use scout to add information in my border like : schematic path, page number, logo, and reference of components in different levels. note : i...
Hello, I am trying to convert to DxDesigner 2007 and need a way to sync the symbols in a design with the symbols in a central library. It seems in 2007 all of...
could you please elaborate? are you sure your not thinking of symbol attributes and not the physical symbol itself (ie. you had to add a pin or something) ...
I am using 2007.3. You just use Tools > Update Symbols. The dialog shows all the symbols which have changed in the library. You OK it to update everything in...
One bad thing is, that parts, which you have removed from the schematic, are also checked and updated. They are still in the cached library and there is no way...
