Protel users,
Hi guys try this. It works and you can move your text.
The popular Schematic Port Cross-reference Wizard for Protel 99 SE, normally
sold as part of the Schematic Toolkit V2.0 for Protel 98, has been updated for
Protel 99 SE and is free to anyone who downloads and registers at:
http://www.aspiring-technology.com
This version works with - Protel 99 SE SP5 - O N L Y, so ensure you have
installed the latest Protel 99 service pack before bothering to download and
install the server.
- Aims of this server -
The Schematic port cross reference wizard places text annotations next to all
ports in a schematic project, showing what other pages and where on those pages
these port names continue. On large multiple sheet schematics following the
port
connections between pages is difficult, and these
annotations aim to help the reader follow the flow of wires and busses between
sheets. Protel provided a port cross referencing tool starting with Protel 99
SE, but is does not allow customization of the format (these commands are
located under the Report menu in Schematic).
- Limitations -
This server does not support complex sheet symbol/ port connections hierarchy.
This hierarchy allows the port names to be ignored, and inter-sheet connections
defined by wires between sheet symbols on a master page. This server relies on
the port names being the same and this is how most schematics are drawn, unless
they are multiple channel designs using complex hierarchy. In most
circumstances
designs are drawn using the same source and destination port names, so this
limitation is minimal.
Protel 99 SE added the functionality to have vertically oriented ports. When
placing an annotation for a vertical port, this server places the text aligned
to the outside of the port, horizontally oriented. Once placed like this the
first time you can move them into your desired position and upon
subsequent passes (as long as the option to override position is NOT ticked),
the manually placed position will be retained.
