Cadence Text Block Selection

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We have custom text blocks defined for Silk and Assembly.  We would like the ability to map a text field to a text block in the Output dialog box.  It would also be nice to disable the Device Type text.

	I second this. Every foot print we create, we change the Assembly and Silkscreen RefDes size, and delete the Device Type text.

	I would highly suggest writing an Allegro post-process script to automate cleanup of elements to your specific custom setup. Custom mapping of textblocks is something we likely would not handle in the translator.
