copy part_number property column in capture and import into allegro for pick and place export

frank mpbc

Hello,

I have version Capture and Allegro 17.2-2016.

In Capture CIS, I have a column property called "Manufacturer's part number" that I like to import into Allegro such that I export it in a reports for pick and place. (Export->Reports make a new custom report with selected fields) In Allegro, it uses PART_NUMBER so I assume I must have a column like that in Capture. How do I rename or easily copy in Capture my "Manufacturer's part number" column into a PART_NUMBER column?

I assume I have to import the changes through Import->netlist. Would that be correct?

Thanks,

Frank

  • Yes you'll need to edit the allegro.cfg file (Tools - Create Netlist then click on Setup and edit the configuration file). In the Component Definition Props section add a line Manufacturer's part number=PART_NUMBER then save the cfg file and export the netlist. When you use the Show Element command you should see your PART_NUMBER property populated with the Manufacturer's part number.
