[PCB_FORUM] Re: Concept Hilite

On a similar note,,,,,,what is the most efficient method for
selecting/highlighting multiple components in Concept so that they are
highlighted in Allegro.  Can a window select be done.   I have done
something similar but in big schematics it highlights the parts very
slowly in Allegro.

Mark,

 

If you add what I suggested to the Concept section of the cpm file, you
should not be prompted to expand the design.  It will expand
automatically (you won't be prompted).  It needs to expand in order to
cross reference, but it only needs to expand once per session. 

 

Hope this helps.

        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.

         

        Julian

        Mark,

         

        In the concept section of the cpm file set the following:

        EXPAND_BEFORE_GLOBAL_NAVIGATE 'YES'

         

        The default value is 'PROMPT'

         

        Regards,

                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
