Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Change grid
I hope this will help (and make sense on a late Friday afternoon!):
Your Concept menu and it's supporting files should be stored in your home
directory under cdssetup/concept -
I find that editting the files by hand instead of using the Concept Tool>
Customize works better for me...
1. You will need to make a script:
examples:
grid_1_5.txt:
grid .1 5
bom_ignore.txt
property
$<THIS WILL ADD BOM_IGNORE: SELECT
THE SYMBOL
BOM_IGNORE=TRUE
$<PLACE THE PROPERTY
netspacingtype.txt:
property
$<LINESPACE: SELECT THE NET:
NET_SPACING_TYPE=
$<ENTER THE VALUE IN MILS (EXAMPLES:
SPACE006,SPACE030,SPACE100)
$<PLACE THE PROPERTY
2. edit your concepthdl_cmd.txt file (or use Tools> Customize and then pick
the Command tab):
example:
/* concepthdl_cmd.txt file, written
03/31/05 16:25:12 */
FileVersion 1;
BOM_IGNORE "bom_ignore" "" "script
ecad\scripts\PE14\concept\bom_ignore.txt" ;
NET_SPACE "add net_spacing_type" ""
"script ecad\scripts\PE14\concept\netspacingtype.txt" ;
GRID_1_5 "grid_1_5" "" "script
ecad\scripts\PE14\concept\grid1_5.txt" ;
3. edit the concepthdl_menu.txt -add the commands to the end of the file (or
use the Tools> Customize and pick the Menus tab):
example:
/* concepthdl_menu.txt file, written
03/31/05 16:25:12 */
