Just a tip for those CADSTAR usersthat want to be able to batch output parts in Least, Nominal & Maximum dimensions and have a single component name but each different sized version of it as an alternative footprint. (This is so that it can easily be selected within a design and changed I.E. when going from a prototype with Maximum to Least for production etc). Output your batch with the environment setting as required and the component name will have L, N or M at the end of it. Open the .CPA file within notepad and use search and replace for the following. The text to search/replace is within the quote. Least Find
Nominal Find
Maximum Find
And save the .cpa file and import as usual. Then you will get alternatives for each output. |
