Import associated board list

 

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:-

 

tickbox9.gif 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.
