For EDIF 200, the EDIF.IN file contains commands which assist
in the interpretation of the schematic data.

Command

Explanation of Command
|
|
.ATTRIBMAP
|
The .ATTRIBMAP command allows the user to map Attributes
from EDIF to known internal CAMCAD Attributes. The .ATTRIBMAP
command is defined followed by the EDIF based Attribute,
then the CAMCAD Internal Attribute.
- Syntax: Need Syntax
- EXAMPLE: .ATTRIBMAP assembly_name REFNAME
|
|
.ATTRIBUTE2TEXT
|
The .ATTRIBUTE2TEXT command is used to convert Visible
Attributes from EDIF into Physical Text Strings in CAMCAD.
It is a Y/N command.
- Syntax: .ATTRIBUTE2TEXT Y/N
- EXAMPLE: .ATTRIBUTE2TEXT N
|
|
.DOTSIZE
|
The .DOTSIZE command impacts the size of dots from
the EDIF file. The units are set in Inches.
- Syntax: .DOTSIZE Inches
- EXAMPLE: .DOTSIZE .02
|
|
.FILETYPE
|
The .FILETYPE command allows the user to define what
the EDIF FileType is. There are two acceptable FileTypes
that can be used with this command, Generic and Viewlogic.
The GENERIC FileType has Attribute Instance Placement
that is Absolute. The VIEWLOGIC FileType has Attribute
Instance Placement that is Relative.
- Sytnax: .FILETYPE GENERIC/VIEWLOGIC
- EXAMPLE: .FILETYPE GENERIC
|
|
.PROPORTIONALTEXT
|
The .PROPORTIONALTEXT command allows the user to set
whether the text is defined proportionally or not. It
is a Y/N command.
- Syntax: .PROPORTIONALTEXT Y/N
- EXAMPLE: .PROPORTIONALTEXT N
|
|
.TEXTHEIGHTCORRECT
|
The text definitions in EDIF are unique
to the system generating the EDIF file. Therefore, Text
Height and Width can vary. The .TextHeightCorrect command
allows the user to modify the Text Height interpreted
by CAMCAD. If the text height of your EDIF file when
loaded into CAMCAD is too large or too small, use this
command to increase/decrease text height.
- Syntax: Need Syntax
- EXAMPLE: .TEXTHEIGHTCORRECT .7
|
|
.TEXTRATIO
|
The text from EDIF can also have a different HEIGHT:WIDTH
ratio. The .TEXTRATIO command allows the user to change
the ratio of the Height to the Width of the Text.
-
Syntax: Need Syntax
-
EXAMPLE: .TEXTRATIO .5
|
| .DESIGNATOR_BACKANNOTATE |
This command allows users to choose which attribute
component backannotation is applied to. The default
(without this command activated) is DESIGNATOR. If the
user has anohter attribute, like REF, it can be identified
with this command.
- EXAMPLE: .DESIGNATOR_BACKANNOTATE REF
|
| .PINNO_BACKANNOTATE |
This command allows users to choose which attribute
pin backannotation is applied to.
- EXAMPLE: .PINNO_BACKANNOTATE PIN
