How to change line class

ShawnLogan
ShawnLogan over 17 years ago

Hi

I'm a new user to Allergo PCB editor. I have a question on the line classes.
A line path was created in "top-etch" layer, how can i simply change it class to the correct package_geom -> silkscreen_top? (other than redrawing it using the correct class/subclass)?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks
Shawn

    It shouldn't possible to change one class to another. If you want, you can change one sub-class to another using the change command. It's possible to change one class to another using DXF command. Wish it will help you.

    can you explain how to use the DXF command method to change the line's class from Board Geometry to Package Geometry?

    you can do this:

    file -> export ->sub-drawing. select the line(s). open the .clp file, change class and sub class to what you want.

    read in the .clp file:

    file -> import -> sub-drawing.
