Adding 3D Information in Ultiboard
Selecting from the Spreadsheet
The latest version of Circuit Design Suite just released last week (11.0.1), and so I can finally write about something I added to the product some time ago.
Finding items in Ultiboard (Edit > Find...) shows the list of found items in the spreadsheet. Previously, you could double click the item, and it would take you to the location of the item, or the location of the item when it was found. This has been improved in a couple of ways for the latest version.
- Double clicking the Spreadsheet View result goes to the current location, not the location where the attribute was when the item was found.
- Right clicking these results in the Spreadsheet View has 3 new options
- Select
- Add to selection
- Remove from selection
You can use these new commands to select the found attribute (or select multiple attributes), and then edit multiple attributes at once, even if they are not visible on the board. To give it a try, I'll show explain how you can the visibility of all DIP8 attributes to visible without going component-by-component.
1. Click File > Open Samples, then select and open RoundRouted.ewprj
2. Find and select the items to modify
- Click Edit > Find..., then search for DIP8
- Click Find, and you should see 4 results in the Spreadsheet View on the Results tab. If you double click the items, you will see they go to the component, but nothing is shown because they attributes are invisible.
For each item, right click the item and choose Add to selection
3. Change the visibility of the attributes
- Click Edit > Properties. The Attribute Properties dialog should show.
- Select the Attribute tab and change the Visibility to Value. Click OK.
4. Now when double click the items, you will see the visibility of each.
