Text block setup in PCB designer

Nicow
Nicow over 10 years ago

Hi all,

Is there any mean to permanently setup the text block values in PCB designer (I have one of the latest version 16.6.S039). I have to do it on each PCB I design under setup/design parameters, 'text' thumb then 'setup text sizes'...

Could it be listed in afile on a server which would be accessed by all the client that starts PCB designer ?

Many thanks and kind regards,

    Yeah it's possible. try to paste the parameter file server under new folder, set folder for the sharing. Then you use it.

    Setup a board that has all you need then use File - Export - Parameters, check the boxes for what you want and then one each new design use File - Import - Parameters and get the file you saved.

    Setup a folder called something like Allegro\library\parameter and put the parameter file in it. then using Setup - User Preferences - Paths - Library - set the parampath to point to the folder you created. When you use File - Import - Parameters there's a Library button which will browse that directory.
