Updated PADS netlister script

Although the true power of Altium Designer comes from utilizing the entire unified flow, there are a handful of customers who, for various reasons, use just the schematic editor as a point tool. There are a number of netlisters available from the Design menu in schematic, including one for PADS. While the format of the resulting outputs is technically correct, it’s a bit out of date and there is usually some manual editing that needs to be done for PADS to recognize the files. A customer of mine wanted a more elegant solution to make it easier for his engineers to work in Altium while the layout team makes a slower transition from PADS over to Altium.

I found a netlisting script as part of the legacy “Scripts” folders that used to get installed in the “Examples” folder. Those scripts, incidentally, are now available on AltiumLive here. The original netlisting script is for Protel (in Scripts\Delphiscript Scripts\WSM\Protel Netlister). I made some formatting changes to it and now have a script that outputs a correctly-formatted, single PADS netlist in the current format (V9).

There are two ways to run the script that need some explaining. The current PADS netlister in Altium uses only the footprint to populate *Part* section:

*PART*
U1 FG456
U2 SOT95P280-5
U3 TSOP80P1176-44

However, PADS does not need the name of the footprint (decal) first, it needs the name of the Part with the footprint name following an @ sign:

*PART*
U1 XC3S1000-4FG456C@FG456
U2 SN74LVC1G04DBV@SOT95P280-5
U3 SRAM-256Kx16@TSOP80P1176-44

This script populates the Part field by pulling either Altium’s “Comment” field or the “Design Item ID” field. This gives the user a choice of what to use as the equivalent Part in PADS. In addition, the Comment field can be populated using "indirection," which will use one of the user-defined parameters instead. This allows the user to have a separate parameter (e.g, "PadsPartType") dedicated to the PADS Part name. (**Keep in mind that spaces are not allowed in the parameter name when indirection is used.) When the script is run, the user can choose which method to use to populate the Part field.

Another change with this script is that unlike the current netlister which creates two files (one for the parts section of the netlist and another for the nets), this will create one file with the proper .asc extension for immediate import to PADS. Because Altium does not recognize .asc as a netlist file, however, it will be placed in the “Text Documents” section of the Project panel, rather than “Netlist Files.” The file itself gets placed in the default Output Path folder.

The file header is set for PADS V9 (“!PADS-POWERPCB-V9.0-MILS! NETLIST FILE FROM ALTIUM DESIGNER). If the user requires an older format, a simple text replace in the script file (“ScripterPadsNetlist.pas”) will do the trick. Feel free to make any other edits you require.

Hope this helps some of you!

Design Secret - number 52 - How to make custom copper Thieving Patterns

Design Secret - number 52 - in which Senior Applications Engineer Colby Siemer shows us how to make custom copper Thieving Patterns.

Of course, you can make thieving patterns in the CAM editor - this has been possible for a while. But using Stitching Vias to do it instead creates a whole lot of new possibilities:

• Addition of just about any shape thieves
• Rotation of the thieves
• One-Time generation of outputs (rather than re-export from the CAM editor after they were added).

Click the link below to watch the video and let Colby show you how to do it. You may even learn other Global Editing Techniques along the way ;-)

ALTIUM ANNOUNCES CEO DEPARTURE AND APPOINTMENT OF CEO

---------- The Official Release Follows ----------

ALTIUM ANNOUNCES CEO DEPARTURE AND APPOINTMENT OF CEO

Sydney, Australia - 15 October 2012 - Electronics design software company Altium Limited (ASX:ALU) advises that Chief Executive Officer and Founder Mr Nick Martin has stepped down from his positions with the company with immediate effect and is replaced by Executive Vice Chairman, Mr Kayvan Oboudiyat, as CEO.

The Board of Altium wishes to sincerely thank Mr Martin for his tireless dedication to the company for over 25 years and wishes him well for the future as he pursues his personal endeavours.

While Altium has made considerable progress over the past twelve months, having relocated its global headquarters to China, and returning to profitability, it is the Board’s decision that it is in the best interests of Altium to adopt a different style of leadership with focus on returning value to shareholders.

Chairman of Altium, Mr Sam Weiss said, “Nick Martin has been a significant contributor to Altium over many years. Notwithstanding, it is the view of the Board that while Altium’s assets and technological innovation have always been strong, the company has under-performed against the opportunity”.

Altium has positioned itself on a path to transform itself from a traditional software company to a “software as a service company” that embraces the web. This has been achieved through the active pursuit of content driven subscription strategy and the acquisition of the required web-related technologies and their subsequent development direction.

These achievements along with Altium’s relocation to China provide an opportunity for Altium to be a key player in the emerging Electronic Design Tools market that is built around web-enabled devices. The Board has recognised that for this opportunity to be fully realised, Altium must commit to the achievement of profitability that is sustainable over the long-term.

Mr Weiss acknowledged that “this will require Altium to exercise fiscal discipline while actively pursuing technological innovation that will achieve commercial success”.

Mr Weiss further stated that “as a Board, we are pleased to be able to appoint Mr Kayvan Oboudiyat as our CEO and achieve a successful and seamless change to leadership. As Executive Vice Chairman, with over 15 years experience with Altium, Kayvan understands the company well”. Altium also intends to undertake a search to identify a suitable external candidate to join the leadership team, and will advise further at the time of any such appointment."

Announcement: Update 22 for Altium Designer

The Altium Development team is pleased to announce the 22nd update for Altium Designer.

This release focuses on additional enhancements to Altium Designer, with the key highlights being:

Delete selected objects:

We have included a new feature in PCB Editor for deleting of selected objects (through the shortcut keys Ctrl+Delete), which then selects adjacent routed objects for further unrouting. When single end-of-route object is selected, Backspace shortcut now deletes selection and auto-selects connected singular route object. Each of these shortcuts can be used in a successive manner to incrementally unwind routed paths.

Read more in the Wiki.

New module for output of IDF:

This release has the addition of a new plugin “Output - IDF” found in the Output Generators category. This new plugin provides IDF export capability in the OutJob “Export Outputs” section.

Press Release: Molex Track-it Traceability Pad for Product Identification in Fully-Automated, High-Volume PCB Assembly Lines

Molex Track-it Traceability Pad for Product Identification in Fully-Automated, High-Volume PCB Assembly Lines

Cost-effective alternative to the current manual label and barcode systems, track-it™ requires minimal investment and can be easily read by most commercially available optical scanners

 

LISLE, IL – September 25, 2012 – Molex Incorporated presents the track-it™ traceability pad – a printed circuit board (PCB) miniature identifier that provides unambiguous product traceability within the production process of work-in-progress in any high-volume electronic PCB assembly operation.  The track-it system is ideal in any SMT PCB assembly where space is limited and traceability is required, including high temperature ceramic PCB assemblies.  Well suited for use in the medical industry, where stringent traceability requirements apply, other typical applications range from high-value consumer electronics, such as digital cameras, notebook PCs, MP3 players, mobile phones and portable gaming devices, to in-car entertainment and navigation systems.

 

“The track-it traceability pad is a very cost-effective alternative to the current manual label and barcode systems generally used in high-volume electronic PCB assembly to track work in progress,” says Michael Power, product group manager, Molex.  “These devices require minimal investment from the customer since no laser investment is needed as the code is already written.  Additionally, the pads use minimal PCB real-estate for use in the smallest of applications.  This is especially interesting in today’s environment of continuous miniaturization and ever increasing complexity and board density.”

 

Measuring only 1.80mm (0.071") x 2.80mm (0.110"), the track-it device is a miniature metal pad, laser-etched with a unique 2D Data Matrix symbol that can be easily read by most commercially available optical scanners.  These devices are available packaged on tape and reel for automated pick-and-place assembly on standard chip shooters in high-speed SMT lines.  For customers running multiple lines, with different manufacturing locations and/or using multiple contract manufacturers, track-it provides the added peace of mind that no number can ever be repeated thus ensuring 100 percent traceability of the board content and manufacturing line or location.

 

During the assembly process, the Molex track-it pad is placed alongside other components onto the application PCB and solder reflowed.  Each PCB thereby gains a unique identification, allowing the traceability data of all other components contained on the populated PCB to be logged against a unique traceability code number.  The PCB identifier can then be incorporated into the identification of the final assembled device.

 

“As the track-it pad is metal and temperature resistant it can be placed on the board prior to reflow thus avoiding the additional high costs associated with Teflon labels,” adds Power.  “The track-it system is available for both standard reflow and high temperature reflow associated with ceramic boards.”
