Hello

fabmaster out is looking for COMP_HEIGHT

Where is this assigned ?


Our vendor is complaining because this field in not populated.

Thanks,

Les

    As far as I know, there is not an Allegro attribute named "COMP_HEIGHT".

    The Fabmaster utility is looking for an attribute that does not exist.

    I have never used a vendor that wanted that attribute. My Fabmaster utility places a blank space in that field.

    You can assign a Package_Height_Max value to a shape on the footprint, but the Fabmaster utility would need to have this attribute added to the report in the "parts.txt" configuration file.

    Les,

    My Fabmaster utility files are on my local C: drive.

    The parts.txt file is under a folder named "config".

    Hope this helps,

    Dan
