Re: [PEDA] SCHEM GROUPING, DOES IT WORK?

2001-12-12 Thread Wayne Bickers

I am working on a simmilar design at the moment, and it seems that if you
place the components in the order that the parts were created in things seem
to work happliy enough.
To start with whenever I reannotated the design all the part numbers would
seeming swap of their own accord, but this seemed to help.

I also gave up on the 'group parts together if matched by' stuff.

Good luck

I had a go recently, but couldn't get it to work reliably or predictably.
I gave up.

Re: [PEDA] SCHEM GROUPING, DOES IT WORK?

2001-12-11 Thread Dennis Saputelli

I have a large 8 page schem with many multi part components

annotate splattered the multi part groupings all over the place much as
might be expected

noticing the 'group parts together if match by' in the annotate dialog
i went and put GRP1 in part field 8 for one section and GRP2 in the next
and so forth

when i ran the annotation using 'group parts together' by BOTH Part Type
and Field 8, it made a bigger and potentially worse mess

it did not honor the part type at all! 
so res network 4.7K was RN2 and so was res network 100K RN2 !

this is pretty bad IMHO

has anyone actually made this work?

if 2 parts have different part types and the same group by field content
shouldn't that work?

i suppose i could put different strings in field 8 for different parts,
but i suppose i could manually annotate the thing too!
