Location of Component Name in CADSTAR Export

 

   (TEXTCODE TC1 "Silkscreen Text" 12000 120000 80000)

 

and

 

   (TEXTLOC COMP_NAME TC1 LAY17 (PT 10000000 10000000))

 

for setup and placement of the Component Name.

 

I'm not sure how you're still seeing FPX in the text code.

 

Confirm the version, and then also make sure you have deleted both FPX Assembly Text and FPX Silkscreen Text as TextCodes in CADSTAR. It could be that they're just hanging around from an older version, or if you imported a file generated from an older version that had never been regenerated.

 

You should be able to check the .cpa file that gets generated manually by loading it into notepad and searching on 'TEXTCODE' and 'TEXTLOC' to see whats being added per the file and what names its using.

 

 

So what you are looking for is something like COMP_NAME2 on the silkscreen and COMP_NAME on the assembly? All documentation I have has always shown the COMP_NAME on Silkscreen and COMP_NAME2 on Assembly(COMP_NAME2 isn't currently used atm but would be easy enough to turn on). AFAIK, COMP_NAME has never been assembly. I just want to be clear so we don't end up breaking other people doing this.

 

Or is having the assembly layer be COMP_NAME a standard you personally adhered to with your part creation?

 

Oh, the alignment to CENTERCENTER will be in the next update.
