Changing Testpoint Vias

archive
archive over 20 years ago

Hello,

I have a BRD file that contains a large amount of testpoints.

I have supplied the test house a board file and they extracted test points of their choosing. Now my fixture might differ from their selected testpoints.

Does anyone know of a way to automatically read an ascii testpoint file and compare it to the Allegro testprep fixture one I have. I really need to lock down my fixture to match the test houses fixture for future ECNs.

Any help would be appreciated.

    SUBCLASS: pin/top

    SUBCLASS: pin/bottom

    SUBCLASS: ref_des/silkscreen_bottom

    Cheers!
