[PCB_FORUM] Re: package order

Not a sales pitch.

I attend a presetation last night at the IPC  Designer Council meeting
from DesignAdvance. They have a cool product that, If you can afford,
would be a great addition to Allegro.
The tool pushes through the schematic netlist and and will basicly group parts. 
Thus making placement easier.

Hope this helps.

That's what I call instance number a). And it does NOT follow it to package.
I checked it with some examples. If you made another experience please tell
me. Maybe I have to configure some switch to make it happen.

I bet for the geometrical positioning within the page, as if it would scan
up-down left-right the components. 
But the order how it gets into hierarchical blocks is still unclear to me.

Does anybody use Module Order with success? What for?

        I believe the packager follows the path property for
        assigning, every time you put a component down it and
        save the schematic it assigns a path number. If you delete
        a comp and replace it with another comp a different path
        will show. Not sure if there is any other way to control this
        other than a hard location.

Hi people,

does anybody know what is the order the packager follows to assign REFDES
to
the instances drawn in Concept?

If I place many Capacitors on a page does it assign C1, C2, C3...
following

a) instance number?
b) geometrical rules?
c) the order I drew the capacitors?

It becomes specially complicated to follow when I use hierarchies.

It seems to fulfill complete hierarchy levels before going down into the
next one, but I don't get what block is packaged first if there are
several
on the same page.

I have been playing around with the Module_order menu but it does not seem
to control it.

Any idea?
