Creating Netlist without Footprint name in pstchip.dat, pstxprt.dat

karthikeyank

HI,

While Generating PCB Editor Netlist, I want to remove footprint names in .dat files. if it's possible can anyone be help me out.

For ex: 

In : pstxprt.dat

Actual Output --> PART_NAME 1C1_1 'CAPACITOR_C0603':;

Expected Output --> PART_NAME 1C1_1 'CAPACITOR':;, 

In: pstchip.dat

Actual Output --> primitive 'CAPACITOR_C0603';

Expected Output --> primitive 'CAPACITOR';

    If you will rename footprint in netlist files while creating the board file you might have some issue while placing the component.

    Here you are talking about Primitive it is the description of the physical part and the Part Name is the concatenation of Source Package, PCB Footprint and other properties found in the [ComponentDefinitionProps] section of the configuration file used for netlisting(allegro.cfg) file.

    Also, I want to understand if there is some particular requirement due to which you want rename the footprint in netlist files.
