$# Mapping Attributes

In many cases the attribute names found in the input CAD data are not consistent with the names expected by the HP3070 output processor. To overcome this problem, CAMCAD lets you MAP the attribute keywords to a new name.

The following table describes each attribute that is important to the HP3070 output and how it is applied in the resultant Board and Board_XY files.

CAMCAD Attribute Keyword Keyword Definition HP3070 Keyword <parameter>
REFNAME (internal) Reference Designator (U25) <device>
DEVICETYPE (internal) Device Description (resistor) <device type>
TEST (internal) Assigns the Mandatory keyword to the probe location in the Board_XY file. MANDATORY
SMD (internal) Assigns a component pin to be a treated as a Surface Mount Device Determines probe access
NETNAME (internal) Signal Name (+5V) <node_id>
EXPORT KEYWORDS    
MESSAGE Failure Message <failure message>
PARTNUMBER Part Number (25-37651) PN<part number>
VALUE Value (10K) <value>
TOL Tolerance <+tol> <-tol>
+TOL + Tolerance <+tol>
-TOL - Tolerance <-tol>
HP_TYPE Identifies fix or variable for components F or V for capacitors, inductors and resistors
N or P for transistors and FETs
HI-VAL   <hi-val> for diodes
LO-VAL   <lo-val> for diodes
MAX-CURRENT   <max-current> for fuses
HI-BETA   <hi-beta> for transistors
LO-BETA   <lo-beta> for transistors
VOLTAGE   <voltage> for zener diodes
HI-RES   <hi-res> for FETs
LO-RES   <lo-res> for FETs
SERIES-R   <series-R> for inductors
