ultiboard select hierachical block

[tfa]

Short: I want to select components in ultiboard, which belongs to a specific hierarchical block in multisim. Secondary assign these to a part group in ultiboard.

Preferable show a column in the list parts view with the hb_sc_name property already contained in the .ewnet  file for each component instance, and allow sorting by this column. Then one can easily select all components with a specific hb_sc_name, and change their "part group".

Or something similar.

Hi tfa,

You can do this, but only from Multisim. This also won't work in Multisim 10.1 and earlier, because part groups (also part spacing, pin swap, and gate swap) where not instance specific as they now are.

1. In Multisim,  open the main design, and select the hierarchical block you want to modify.
2. In the Spreadsheet View, select the Components tab
3. Check that Show All is not selected
4. Click the Part group column header to select the entire column
5. Select one of the items and change the name

NOTE: when you select the item, you must select a component that can have a part group (for example, selecting a HB/SC connector will not allow you to modify the part group name).
