Import parameter to include the list of boards on import
For the import of external part lists it is sometimes convenient to also import the board list at the same time, Quite often the two lists are created together in the external system.
At the Import parameters screen:-
Check
the box to also import the board list
The program automatically works out the correct board list name and extension from the settings for the import type for parts and boards and the extension used (this is either implied by the import type or taken from the Board list import parameters).
For example:-
Import part format: Part list order - ASCII/Unicode CSV (PNX)
Import board format: Board list order -ASCII/Unicode CSV (BDX)
Part list name: MyBoards.pnx
Board list name: MyBoards.bdx
Notes
- This option does not apply to PTX or MDB import as the board list is already included in these files.
