In Allegro 16.x you can just use: File > Export > Parameters FROM On-Line Help : File - Export - Parameters Export Parameters Output file name Enter the name of a file to which to save database parameter records, or click ... to locate an existing database parameter file in the current working directory. Available Parameters Displays a list of the possible parameter records available for export. If no parameter record exists in the database, it does not display. Click to include the parameter group in the .prm file. Design Setting Global values and grid settings Artwork Artwork film definitions Color Color parameters and color table Text Size Text size settings Application or Command Parameters All other supported parameters, including those for auto rename, auto assignment, auto silkscreen, global dynamic fill, autovoid, export logic, drafting, gloss line fattening, gloss dielectric generation, Options window tab settings, test prep, automatic placement, auto swap, thieving, backdrill, interactive flow planner (Allegro only), and Signoise analysis. -----Original Message----- From: Joe.witten <joe.witten@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 1:19 pm Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Import/Export text blocks It looks like ctrl P captures all the settings and creates .scr that you can read back in to other boards. If the control board has 16 entries and the receiving boa rd has 20, only the 16 entries will change. -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Schaefer Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 11:46 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Import/Export text blocks So you are recording a script while setting all of the text parameters in 1 design, then running on others?
