importing a sub-drawing

Hi! So you want to place it as mirrored at once? Have you tried placing it on a new board, mirroring it, then saving the sub-drawing ?

hello

thank u for ur response.

that is what i am doing.

but i would like to find a way to do it in one step instead of two steps to save my time.

what i  do not understand is that there is a rotate function but no mirror function to import a sub-drawing.

regards

Since Allegro/APD do not allow mirroring the data during import,

I tried mirroring the data in the clp file, below is a simple 'sed' editting script:

s/(_clpAdjustPt /(_clpAdjustPt -/g
s/_clpAdjustPt(/(_clpAdjustPt -/g
s/(_clpAdjustPt --/(_clpAdjustPt /g
s/(_clpAdjustPt -'/(_clpAdjustPt '/g
w mirrored.clp

it took < 1 second to run it

the mirrored clp file loaded in < 2 minutes

There are a few arc issues due to database accuracy in the original clip file:

(_clpAdjustPt 1649.606591792885:1668.271655271171 _clp_cinfo))

I wrote the custom command  'mir_clp' in the attached zip file to preform the editing from within the Allegro/APD tool

below is the journal file entries:
