[PCB_FORUM] Re: Concept Hilite

Julian and Charlie,
Thanks for your reply.
So you are not aware of a way to NOT have Concept ask to expand after hiliting in Allegro?

Usually, if I am simply hiliting / dehiliting things in Allegro, I do not want to expand my schematic.
I just want it to quit asking me and creating a pop-up in Concept for EVERY hilite I do in the board.
Very annoying to hit (NO or X) 50 times if you have hilited 50 nets in the board.

This is all I have in my cpm file under Concept.

START_CONCEPTHDL
LOGIC_GRID_TOGGLE 'OFF'
SYMBOL_GRID_TOGGLE 'OFF'
DOC_GRID_TOGGLE 'OFF'
CLICK_TO_TYPE 'OFF'
PLOT_FIT_TO_PAGE 'ON'
PAPER_SIZE '135'
PAPER_ORIENTATION '2'
PAPER_SOURCE '15'
WPLOTTER_NAME 'Adobe PDF'
TAP_ADD_SIGNAL 'ON'
END_CONCEPTHDL

Regards,
Mark

I am also interested in this fix.
One comment though: wouldn't you have to wait forever before all the nets are expanded?
Just curious.

Mark,
In the concept section of the cpm file set the following:
EXPAND_BEFORE_GLOBAL_NAVIGATE 'YES'
The default value is 'PROMPT'

    Hello all,
    Using Concept and Allegro, when I hilite a net in Allegro, I get
    the following irritating message in concept.
    One message for everything I hilite and I have to click NO or (X)
    on every one of them. This must be done before doing anything else
    in the schematic.

    Pop-up Message reads:
    Do you want to expand to see the net in the entire design?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Mark
