Orcad (not CIS), probably a scripting question.

MikeVeal

Hi All,

I have a recurring problem that I need to fix. I think it's going to need a script as I have no scripting experience, I'm looking for pointers please.

We manage no fits by attaching the following property to a component in the schematic: NO_FIT=NO_FIT.

Sometimes (I've not found the culprit, I think its a user) these properties get hidden on the schematic (DISPLAY set to do not display). And of course this means components we want to fit get NO FITted by accident.

What I'm looking for is a way to parse the whole schematic and get a list of components with hidden NO_FIT properties attached. Changing the DISPLAY to value only would be a bonus, but we'd still need the list.

Can anyone give some pointers as to where to start please?

Thanks,

Mike V.
