I have also run across this issue. It seems that Allegro outputs the data from the symbols that were read into the database. Any modifications made within the database are ignored. If you want these items to be output into your IDF data then you have to update the symbol with the appropriate info and refresh the symbol in the database. Then and only then will the correct IDF data output. If anyone else knows of another way then please respond.

Allegro to Pro-E Sure I can export, no problem... But a more subtle issue. Where is Allegro getting the data to make the idf (emn and emp files)? I can change the properties withing the .brd file of the PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX on the class PACKAGE GEOMETRY / subclass PLACE_BOUND_TOP for a particular part symbol, but it does not appear to change the output files data for that part. Also is there a conflict between the shape used for PLACE_BOUND_TOP and some other feature of a part symbol? I have at least one part symbol with a PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX property that only outputs the default height, it acts as if there is no HEIGHT property at all. Anybody have any insight here? ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list please login at //www.freelists.org.
