Targeting Footprint Selection by Technology in the Allegro PCB Editor

Technology Specific LibrariesCreate technology specific libraries to separateunique footprints. Configure the Allegropsmpath to point to only the necessary libraries.Issues: Does not work with mixed technologies in the samedesign The psmpath needs to be set at the design level thatcorresponds to the appropriate technologyMotorola Document Classification, File Name, Rev NumberAdd additional legal text here if required by your local Legal Counsel.MOTOROLA and the Stylized M Logo are registered in the US Patent & Trademark Office.All other product or service names are the property of their respective owners. © Motorola, Inc. 2005

3 Control LevelsExclude - This is the default mode and is used on all newdesigns. It keeps only the user specified matches. Allother symbols are removed from the pstchip.dat file. Thisoption prevents any non-preferred symbols from beingplaced in the design.Include - This is a legacy mode that is available for olddesigns which may contain a mix of technologies but theuser does not want to change any existing footprints. Theuser can still order the footprints so the correct footprint isavailable on the cursor but it will not change any parts thatare already placed. All non-matching symbols areappended to the end of the ALT_SYMBOLS string.Bypass - If user saves a blank preference list, technologyselector will bypass pstchip.dat processing.Motorola Document Classification, File Name, Rev NumberAdd additional legal text here if required by your local Legal Counsel.MOTOROLA and the Stylized M Logo are registered in the US Patent & Trademark Office.All other product or service names are the property of their respective owners. © Motorola, Inc. 2005
