Sorry for the slow response … it’s been a full day.
To run an extract:
In a text editor, create an extract file like the one below and place
it in the directory defined by your textpath.
In a command window type extracta and it will prompt you for the name
of the board file, the extract file and the output file.
Hope this helps,
Jayne

Jane,
That would work...I think. How do I run the extract?
If we could use this to report any parts with modified pins /
padstacks, then I could refresh everything except the modified one.
Does this sound feasable?
Thanks,
Mark

SYMBOL
SYM_NAME
DATES "LAST_MODIFIED”

It reports if a symbol has been modified in the .brd.

*Subject:* [PCB_FORUM] Re: Display pin numbers?
Hello Kevin,
From what I can tell...the *Package Geometry/Pin numbers* was added in
14.2. But if a board was designed prior to that (even though upreved
to a newer version). Allegro uses the database library so that any
mods to a component pin, etc...(design specific) would not
automatically refresh to remove any mods. Now with a 13.5 file upreved
to 15.1 through DB Doctor, pin numbers will not display unless I
refresh all. But this would remove any mods made in the past. (Dangerous).
How can I use Allegro to uprev the design library without changing any
mods, yet allow pin numbers to display?
As I mentioned, the "board" has been upreved by Allegro 15.1.
I know if I "refresh", Allegro will update any mods back to the
default library version.
As Jean mentioned, if I extract...the symbols will overwrite any mods
that were made.
We have tech's using the free viewer that would like to see pin
numbers displayed on components, but will only work on boards that
were designed in 14.2 or later without refreshing.
Thanks for the feedback!
Mark

and use allegro to uprev them? Then you know they will still
fit as they came from the design and refresh shouldn't
cause any pain. I haven't noticed this problem before,
though. Did they change something so that the pin numbers
now show?

Package Geometry/Pin numbers
Since the board was originally created prior to 14.2, the only parts
that display pin numbers are "new parts" that did NOT exist in the
original board database library.
If we "refresh all" we would risk unwanted changes to modified
components in the database.
However, my gut fell is that this is the only way to get them to display.
Thanks,
Mark
