ALT SYM

archive

 Good morning,
I am using Allegro V. 15.1.
I tried mapping a hot ket to "POP ALT SYMBOL" which is a valid keyboard command, but does not work. Whether I type in command line or hit hot key.

I found that I can select alt symbol while moving a comp as long as "stretch Etch" is deselect.
Also if using place manual to move an already placed comp.
But would like to map a hotkey to click on a comp to toggle through alt symbols.

Any ideas?
I now have to delete all the comps, then RMB while placing.

Thanks,
Mark

  • Hi Mark,

    I think the only way to use your hot key is within the "move" command. I tried it on Allegro SPB15.2 and it works fine.
    First activate the "move" command, then select the component and use the hot key.
    The only limitation is the side where the component is already placed; you can only toggle through the available alt-symbols for that specific board side (top or bottom).
    Thanks for the idea. I will introduce the hot key in our company for the PCB Engineers.

    It may be handy to define a hot key for an incremental movement of zero "ix 0 0", when you want to replace the component on the same position. Use this in combination with the "pop alt symbol" command.

    Good luck,
