Place Replicate Apply Force Manual Mapping

TpermanLuma
TpermanLuma over 1 year ago

I am trying to use the Place Replicate apply functionality to replicate circuitry. Unfortunately the automatic mapping which Allegro has worked out isn't quite right.

If components were unmatched a pop-up window would allow the mapping to be set manually to the correct values. Is it possible to force this pop-up, or to change the mapping after the fact?

    Normally, the component mapping dialog box is only displayed if there is some ambiguity in component assignment and your inputs are needed.
    You can set user preference variable 'plc_rep_show_matching_dialog' to always display the Place Replicate Unmatched Component Interface dialog box to customize the mapping of all the components between the seed circuit and the replicated circuit. You can set this variable by going to Setup>User Preferences>Placement>General category.

    techiecs Is "plc_rep_show_matching_dialog" a variable only available in newer versions of Allegro? I am using v22.1 currently and cannot see this variable in the Placement->General section.

    it works for me using 'allegro 23.1 S003 Windows SPB 64-bit Edition' with the 'Allegro PCB Designer' license.

    I used 'Tools>create Module...'
