seems like this would be possibly a nice feature to optionally control from the schematic and be fully automatic if you didn't like the result you could still muck about with the parts selectively
Orcad capture also has what i think is a new feature to v. 10: a big spreadsheet type panel with all the objects across all the sheets which can be sorted by their columns and which can be used to globally edit things reasonably simply Dennis Saputelli Ian Wilson wrote: > > On 03:07 AM 10/08/2004, Dennis Saputelli said: > > >Orcad Capture has a schem part field for TOPSIDE or BOTTSIDE > > > >is there a way in 99SE or P2004 to get the netlist to > >dump the part on the indicated side of the board ? > > No, not automatically. > > You could use a part field (99SE) or a parameter (DXP/P2004) to indicate > what side and then select and change globally - you would need a method to > select components in the PCB based on what is selected in the Sch - can > this be done in P99SE?
