[PCB_FORUM] Re: Alt symbol

Override the library JEDEC_TYPE by adding a JEDEC_TYPE property that specifies 
the preferred Allegro symbol, directly to the symbol instance in Concept.
You may benefit from having the specified JEDEC_TYPE also in the ALT_SYMBOLS 
list.
 
The JEDEC_TYPE - ALT_SYMBOLS mechanism allows for some optional ways to handle 
this.
Have a look in the Allegro Platform Properties Reference where it is explained.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Alt symbol


Is there a way in Concept to specify which alt symbol to place in Allegro 
automatically?
My problem is that in certain cases we want to place a special footprint for 
capacitors used in high frequency applications and still keep the same part 
number.
Alt symbol seems to be the answer but we don't want the layout designer to have 
to decide which symbol to place.
