[PEDA] Sch lib global change
I've a KOA resistor library in in 99SE and DXP that I want to change to a Lead Free library. Basically all I want to do is change the LTD in the part number of one of the text fields to TTD. I could edit each part separately but that would probably be a solid week or two of work. Is there a way to export to a spreadsheet or do a global change in the library editor to make this quick and easy? I don't care which software package I do it in because I can go between the two with DXP.

Re: [PEDA] Gerber accuracy
Thanks Steve, That solved the problem. I checked the gerbers and, sure enough, the arcs were converted to straight lines that then violated the clearance settings. Amazing.

Thank you for any suggestions. Yep - use 'track', not 'arc' to generate the teardrops. For some reason, the arcs get turned back into straight lines, and you get the clearance violations you've noticed... thousands of them.

Re: [PEDA] Sch lib global change
Tim I'm sure there is an easier way but I've done similar in the past using DXP. In the library editor, goto tools/parameter manager, select just parts. In the spreadsheet window select the entire column you want to modify (all parts) and copy it. Open Excel or similar and paste in. Use excels search and replace functions. Select the cells again and paste back into DXP, in the same position you got it from. This did the job pretty quickly when I was in a rush and couldn't get a query to do it.

Re: [PEDA] (un)hiding part fields
At 08:55 PM 1/18/2004, Ian Wilson wrote: The only problem with the global edit solution (in P99SE) is that it can be a pain undoing the unhide later - particularly when you have some parts where you want to show some or all of the hidden fields. Maintaining a selection during the filed editing can help but is unreliable. It could be said to be reliable -- selections don't just change on their own -- but it is quirky. For example, if you select a part, the displayed part fields appear as selected. But if you then edit one of the fields, the selection box is not checked. I am not sure - can you use an unused field (if you have one) to mark which parts you want to do the unhide and rehide operations? I am not sure if you can match by fields in globals - too long since I used P99SE. Yes, you can match by fields in 99SE global edits. There are a number of oddities in the 99SE treatment of part fields. They are distinct fields, but a global edit on one of them, say Field 15, will edit all of them, not just Part Field 15. So if I wanted to unhide a particular field for many parts, I'd think of editing the field to have, say, XX at the beginning. I'd use the spreadsheet to do this. Then I could use a global edit keyed on XX* to unhide the fields. Then I could use the spreadsheet to remove the XX, and also, if I wanted, rehide hidden fields, or that could be done with a global edit. I'd say that this was an area where Protel Schematic was functional, but not very well executed, not consistent. It would have been easy if the Hide attribute for the fields had been included in spreadsheet export. But it wasn't. I haven't looked at DXP in this regard, but it sounds from Mr. Wilson's comments that DXP does allow spreadsheet or spreadsheet-type access to the necessary fields. But the loss of easy global edits hurts. They could have been improved instead of being completely replaced * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Basically all I want to do is change the LTD in the part number of one of the text fields to TTD. I could edit each part separately but that would probably be a solid week or two of work. In 99SE: unfortunately, the Export to Spreadsheet and Global edit facilities were left out of the 99SE Schematic Library editor. You can, however, write the library as an ASCII file. File/Save As/Advanced Schematic ASCII. Then you can search and replace the fields in a text editor. Be careful... If LTD exists in other fields than the one you want to change, it's not going to be as simple as a single search-and-replace LTD - TTD. Note that the Schematic Editor also will export to ASCII, and this feature could be used to do certain kinds of global edits that are cumbersome in the program itself But there'd have to be a fair amount of editing to do before it would be worth the hassle And when editing ASCII databases, one is especially vulnerable to mistakes, which could create subtle errors, so backing up and caution are in order. In DXP, Schematic Libraries can no longer be saved as ASCII. However, the Parameter Manager seems to perform some of the functions for which Export to Spreadsheet would have been used. (Tools/Parameter Manager), and, for this task, would be superior to editing ASCII anyway. I do worry about the loss of ASCII forms of the files. The existence of the ASCII database for various Protel documents was a powerful feature: when all else fails, you could get at the raw data. I did not find it possible to open in DXP the ASCII form of a P99SE schematic library. However, such a library can be taken back into P99SE, written as binary, and then taken into DXP. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
