[PCB_FORUM] Re: custom texts from Concept to Allegro

Write yourself a Concept Script file to do this would be the easiest way if you 
want to do it for a specific design.
 
** ALL I am doing in this script is updating the "Rev Code" all all pages 
>In Concept goto :
>1, Tools -> Back Annotate
>2, Browse to the  <script_file>.txt
>3, say OK and the 2 pages will update to a new REVISION = 1.1
 
Something like :
FILE_TYPE = BACK_ANNOTATION ;
DRAWING = "@TEST_PROJ_LIB.TOP_LEVEL(SCH_1):PAGE1"; 
BODY = "PAGEA3","BORDER": REVISION = "1.1";
DRAWING = "@TEST_PROJ_LIB.TOP_LEVEL(SCH_1):PAGE2"; 
BODY = "PAGEA3","BORDER": REVISION = "1.1";
END.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] custom texts from Concept to Allegro


Hello all again.
 
I found a nice unused thing on Concept:
Tools/Options, Custom Variables tab
 
I added some variables here and then I can automatically fill custom texts 
defined in a page border symbol for example (like title, designer, board number 
and so on.)
These variables are sent to Allegro by checking "Create User-defined 
properties".
 
Now I am looking for a way to use these variables to update default texts in a 
format symbol (page border like) and then auto fill them with values in Allegro.
Does anybody have an idea how to do it?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
    William.
