Export option for Instance dependent fields to BOM

Is there any instance dependent field that can be exported to the BOM?
For example, I don't seem to be able to do something extremely simple like add a NO_STUFF attribute to a part in the schematic and have that attribute be reflected in the BOM.
As I see it there is a fundamental missing piece to the database structure.  I should be able to create symbols, footprints, and parts independently.  Currently it seems that symbols are attached to parts as is every other exportable field. Why allow me to add multiple footprints to the same part if I can't select/export the part number that reflex the footprint option used?   As it is, I am relying on the purchaser to know too much about the schematic or I have to build a large portion of the BOM by hand.  Or, I create a new schematic part for every part number.  While that is possible, it is extremely time consuming given that the UI is the only database entry point available?  A spreadsheet/software/scriptable entry point would make that option more realistic.
Short of building a complete per part number corporate database, I could create a workable BOM if I was able to export all or any instance dependent field such as the part's attributes fields, label, etc. Is there any way to do this? Can it be added?  Some other BOM export customization would be nice, but this would at least make the exported BOM usable.

Lacy,
Thanks for the suggestion.  I was confusing your reference to "spreadsheet view" for the spreadsheet view of the BOM report and not the spreadsheet of the design.  Unfortunately, though the spreadsheet view does show some instance specific information, it does not combine parts or show some of the database information.
I guess my comment is more for NI Developers.  The BOM generator does look at instance specific information because it doesn't combine instances of parts (resistors, caps, etc) that have difference types set in the schematic.  I therefore don't think it would be that difficult to let me add instance specific fields, (label, attributes, etc) to the BOM.  My examples are ment to illustrate the importance of that.
Changing the USER FIELDS in the database when they are edited on the schematic is a dangerous option at has burnt us before.  I wouldn't call that expected behavior.  When I change the symbol for a part I am prompted to save it to the database.  If I change the symbol for a part in the database, I have to run "Update Components" to write those change to my schematic. (as I would expect)  Yet if I change the user fields in the schematic, the changes automatically propagate to every thing and get saved to the user database.  This behavior is not constant.  A changes made to a part in the schematic should stay in the schematic and affect only the instance changed. Changes made to the database should have to be pushed into a schematic.
I have submitted a feedback forum to NI as well.
I am used to posting to the CVI forums where the developer are very responsive.  Perhaps where Electronic Workbench was a NI acquisition, the developers are further removed from user feedback.

  • Best export option for Sound Designer

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on a new short film and I am working with a Sound Designer and composer.  We want to create a 5.1 mix for the film (which I have never done before).  So I am trying to figure out what would be the best export option for him to work with to make his life easier.
    Providing him with just a ProRes export won't help him match up to my cuts in the time line since he doesn't use FCP X.  So my thought is that we will have matching files and folder structure for both video and audio before I start editing.  But what I am not understanding is once I have a complete rough cut, how do I get him a cut list so that he can totally match up my cuts with the same audio files on his system?
    Any advice?
    Thanks.

    See this pic for an example of how my exports turn out:
    http://www.brettmichaelwiesman.com/temp/qtexport.jpg
    First off, the titling style is not ideal for DV (or DVD). That is, your font should be a bit fatter (or, at least, bold) and perhaps 1-2 point sizes larger. (This is all because the DV codec makes titles look like s--t if the font size is small and narrow)
    Also, for your LiveType files, make sure FCP is interpreting your alpha channel correctly. For every LiveType file placed in your timeline, select it, then press Command-9 to bring up the Item Properties dialog. In the column for Alpha, make sure it says it says Black. If, for instance, it reads Straight, Control-click [right-click] on Straight, then select Black from the contextual menu. You should notice your text 'popping out' a little more. You'll have to re-render, of course.
    Also, in QuickTime Player, press Command-, (that's  + comma) to bring up QT's preferences. Make sure that the box for Use High Quality Video Setting when available is checked. (In order to get this working, it's probably best to set this, then restart QT - or close, then open, all movies). With the High Quality flag always used, your titling should always look better in QT player. (That is, there is no change made to your actual file, but at least when previewing, you'll get a better idea of things)
    After you've made these changes, export as you were (Current Settings) and let us know if you see any improvements.

  • Copa there is a option for reset value field / quantity value filed

    Hi
    As per the sap standard in copa there is a option for reset value field / quantity value filed. We
    use this function to reset a quantity or value field depending on the
    billing type (For eg L2 (Debit Memo) G2(Credit Memo). This means that
    the condition value set in the field is replaced by value 0. Due to
    this quantity value filed in copa reflects nil. My client requirement is when profit center document is generated System should display the quantity as nil.
    i have tried some enhancement but these enhancement is only used in  case of PGI . But in the case of debit and credit memo their is no PGI. first we create debit not request (va01) then billing(vf01) then document is generated .
    Can we do the same thing in profit center Accounting? When PCA document
    is generated System should display the quantity as nil.
    Please let me know some user exit or substitution or Bte  we can use ?

    hi Jerry,
    Very appreciated the link you sent.  In this article of this link,  it gives an example of a conversion from an external to an internal format:
    1. '1234 ' -> '00001234'
    2. 'ABCD ' -> 'ABCD '
    Just wonder why the external format '1234 '  has to be converted to '00001234', what's the purpose of doing this converstion?
    Thanks!

  • Multiple select options for an input field

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement where in we need to provide multiple select options for an input field in a BSP application and get output relevant to all the given inputs(do not require range).
    Please do let me know how to solve this.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Lavanya .

    Hi,
    The requirement is : Suppose there is a input field PLANT.
    If we give input for plant it gives related output.
    Now if it is required to give 5 or 6 inputs..like plant1,plant2...plant6 and get the output related to all 6 inputs.
    (Like we implement in ABAP)
    Please do let me know how can this be implemented in BSP.

  • Restrict Select-Options for Logical Database field

    The way we restrict select options for custom defined select option fields on selection screen.. can we restrict select options for standard Logical Database fields?
    i.e. report uses PNPCE logical database and has field called PERNR. I want to restrict select options for this PERNR field so that it has options for 'Select single values' only.
    Thanks,

    You can user AT SELECTION-SCREEN event, and check whether any record is having high value for PNPPERNR.

  • Best Export Options for QT5 Viewing

    I run a site for Mac OS 7 users and want to upload some videos there in QuickTime 5 format (the latest version for Mac OS 7). I am working on a G4 running Tiger and QuickTime 7 Pro.
    What are some of your opinions on the best export options for QT5 viewing, distrubed over the internet, at say 320x240?

    Alas, the data rate of these two video codecs must be a lot higher (at least 25% more than the more modern codecs) to ensure a good visual experience.
    A neat html "trick" is to encode with these higher data rates but at a smaller dimension. Instead of 320X240 use 160X120. The smaller dimensions help keep the file size down. During html playback use the object and embed tag to scale="tofit" and enlarge the playback area.
    Your src (source) tag dimensions are larger than the original source file. Using scale="tofit" tags the file plays at the designated size instead of the original (160X120) size.
    The pages hosted for .Mac users (iWeb and Homepage) use the opposite tag (scale="aspect") that fit the source to the template of the page. One of mine as an example:

  • Exporting - Option for Best Quality?

    Okay. Just upgraded to QT Pro. What "export" option produces the best quality video?
    Also, should QT Pro be able to open an WMV file? I've been having to use Flip4Mac, but is water marks everything when I try to do the conversion to *.mov format.
    Thanks for any info and insight.

    The best quality video will always be lossless or uncompressed. The reality about compression is that it's always a trade off between image quality and data size and as Colin pointed out depends a lot on what you use it for.
    While you're working on a piece of video, it's always best to keep it as uncompressed as possible. Compressing footage and then compressing it again leads to a much reduced quality, something like generational loss when recording from tape to tape.
    As a good balance between data size and quality in Quicktime, I'd recommend working at the full pixel dimensions and frame rate that you captured and using Apple's MJPEGA codec at full quality.
    You might also think about AVI file compressed with DV codec - they won't be as high quality, but will have the advantage of being readable on Macs as well as PCs which don't have Quicktime installed.

  • Export option for highest quality posting to Google video and YouTube

    I'm trying to figure out what the best export options are for posting video on Google Video and YouTube. My primary interest is skiing video with quick actions. Here are the 5 options I tried on my iMovie HD 6, the latest and the greatest:
    MPEG4, LAN

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0myAYyBx0k

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Wch75hTzs
    You can get the whole list on each site with following URL
    http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=imovie-quality-comparison
    http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=C0D08A3D961234E4
    Each video has cross reference URL in the description which link to the same video posted on other site.
    Currently my choice is "Quicktime, LAN, Deinterlace" on Google Video. Only thing I don't like is doubling of image for fast moving part, which somehow disappears if I reduce the size to 320x200, but then it is too blurry when displayed in full screen.
    None is usable on YouTube. They look horrible, but there are much better quality videos on YouTube.
    Since there are so many knobs to play around on each option, I'm at loss what to play around with. I did quick things like increasing the size to 720x480 or increasing the frame rate, but surprisingly, none seems to make any difference when filtered through their encoder.
    I like to solicit suggestions on what option to try. I'll export the same video with that options, upload it to both sites and we can take a look.

    Hi — I also found you via Slashdot. You've gone to a good amount of effort to solve this scientifically.
    I'm just here to say: Face it, you need to go past the built-in options. Here's what you need to know:
    1. YouTube is 320x240 (or 320 by anything lower, for widescreen). You must scale to that.
    2. YouTube is 30fps maximum, so if you already have that, set that. If you have 25 or 24, use that. If you have 50, it looks better with 25 (I've tried).
    3. The interlacing choice is purely up to your original video. Does it have 480 lines or 576 lines? And if so, does it have fluid "live camera" motion, unlike film? If your answer is yes to both, then you have interlacing. Since YouTube doesn't do interlacing, you need to remove it.
    4. Both YouTube and Google Video have a problem with the (seemingly open, standard) MP4 format. We think it's because of the VLC software they used. Anyway, use a QuickTime MOV file for the wrapping container, so export to QuickTime Movie (not MPEG-4). But use the H.264 codec. It's good.
    OK, that's it. It's your pretty complete, simple guide to making good YouTube videos.
    Don't forget to use a tripod and external microphones, and lay off using the zoom too much. That's my other advice, for earlier in the process. Now you've learnt everything technical The rest is only down to viral marketing and you can learn all that by example out on YouTube.

  • AAF EXPORT OPTION FOR AFTER EFFECTS CC

    Hi My name is Marcellus. I use After effects for vex when I import my avid sequence AAF from Media Composer to After effects. Thing is I don't use premiere Pro or Premiere CC. I think that if I have to dynamic link my after effect composition over to premiere creating a new premiere project then exporting my sequence AAF from premiere back to avid it's too much file base creation. May after Effects CC add an AAF export option where it renders the effects in the composition, I can export that workflow as an AAF with effects rendered and  import that AAF back into Avid Media composer and link to the timeline like a feature with Davinci resolve?

    You're correct. See the Avid to After Effects workflow article. That method is possible but not recommended.

  • Modifying Advance CSV export options for Web Intelligence

    When we download a Webi report as a CSV(witha dvance options)
    In the CSV download advanced options -- We have options for specifying the 'Text Qualifier which is ( " and ' ) and Delimiter (, and ; and tab)
    I would like a 'none' option for the 'Text Qualifier' i.e the output columns of the csv should not be enclosed by single or double quotes....
    Any suggesstions as to where I can modify this.

    1. have you created any hierarchy in the universe ? after creating required hierarchy, in the webi report you need to enable drill mode.
    2. you can use opendocument url with sReportName parameter. Please check this doc for details: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf
    But for this you need to export the report to InfoView.

  • What is the best export option for a slide show made with Premiere Pro?

    I have just made a slide show, 3 minutes, some music and 3 slides.
    I exported it for youtube with 10fps.
    The file ended up with 35 Mb.
    Isnt there an export option that allows less fps resulting in a much smaller file size?

    What frame size are you exporting to?
    There is likely a way to get it a little smaller. I will play around with it and see what I can come up with.
    Post a screen shot of your export settings. We might be able to spot a problem.
    Edit: Well, at 1920X1080 a 3 minute slide show starts to fall apart at less than 30MB or so. The bitrate drops to the point where the images are not clear. Anything under about 1Mbps is just too noisy. I used H.264. There might be a better choice for slideshows.

  • Best QT export option for laptop presentation

    Hi there,
    I am experimenting with exporting options in hopes to get the highest quality output for a presentation I created in FCE2. This file is 1 hr/20 min. long. (The first hour is a looped slideshow). The graphics and photos used in this were all at square pixel value, 720x540. And again, the final product will be shown from a laptop...
    When I export the entire sequence from FCE, do I do a self-contained movie or not? What are the best settings I can select in QT Pro? SHould I change the compressor settings to "Best" or stick with the default settings?
    I really appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
    Karen

    Thanks Tom,
    I'll give that a try. I am currently exporting the second segment of the video using the same method i listed earlier. (simply because it worked and i MUST have it done tonight). After it is finished, I plan to do the whole thing in ONE CHUNK using the settings you've given me - as long as I don't have further issues with that "render file."
    So I am just curious, will there be any difference between these two types of export methods?
    1- Export from FCE Quicktime Movie, self-contained, to desktop. Open in QT. Export using your dimensions of 640x480, "best quality."
    VS.
    2- Export using QT conversion with the above dimensions.
    Thanks! This has been such a learning experience for me. I'm so glad to be at the final phase! Just keeping my fingers crossed that this export goes well. You've been such a great help, thank you.
