Placing large amount of parts

Rascal
Rascal over 7 years ago

Dear engineers

I have trouble with mass placing more than 10,000 parts since this operation takes too much memory.(File size is 1.06 GB)

Even though I could placing them all, because of huge amount of parts, the program woked too slow.

Are there any solutions to make this program more lighter of faster without upgrading my computer?

Or are there any options that make each part more lighter?

I really hope there will be a solution that I don't know yet.

I need your help..

Thank you

    A trick I recommend is to delete all dimensions and other documentation objects before compiling your dras. This can have a major benefit on big designs if your dras are full of such things. Alternatively delete these objects from your symbols from within the design. I use a small Skill utility to do this.

    I really appreciate your kindness!

    BTW, I have no idea where I can delete those object like dimensions or documentation.

    Please show me a way to delete or approach those parameters.

    Thank you.

    Delete any documentation layer objects like you would any other objects.  Enter the dimension environment to delete dimensions. Just ensure that you don't save your dra after compiling the psm.
