Import PCB Designs into Ultiboard and link to original Multisim design.

I am trying to work with a third party, who is doing the PCB layout.  I have a board design in Multisim which I export the netlist to them for Protel.  How can I bring the completed design back into Ultiboard?  dxf files do not seem to contain all of the component information.  I have tried dxf and .pcb files from them and none seem to come close.  Thanks.

Hi Martin,
In Ultiboard, select File>>Open and where you see All support files click the down arrow, there is an option to open Protel file. I should warn you, the last time I looked at this, there were many hidden issues such some via not properly connecting to a trace and this only happen with a few via, and there were other issues that don't recall right now. If your design is complex, importing a Protel file is very dangerous.
DXF was intended for importing board outline and logo.  Data inside a DXF contains only shapes, it doesn't have netlist, pad information, clearance etc... So importing a complete design is not useful.
My recommendation is to redo the design.

  • Dreamweaver Can I import muse pages into Dreamweaver and "up grade" them

    Dreamweaver Can I import muse pages into Dreamweaver and "up grade" them
    Muse is terrific for basic pages, but forms, and scripts require more capability
    Also is there anyone watching this who does freelance work on web design?

    Thanks Murray
    Yes I have looked at the Muse code and also looked at it in a plain html editor, (Been using Arachnophilia for about 15 years)
    and the code is a mess.
    You are dead right. I figured I would start with Muse to get some of the concepts sorted out, and that has worked, but I know I will need to use DW for my main site
    CanLaw has about 1500 pages all done in html with tables….
    time to play catch up
    Ton of work, but I have a masochistic bent anyway
    But in the long run life will be simpler if I make the effort now.

  • I am importing a cd into itunes and it is creating 4 different albums. How can I get it all in one album?

    I am importing a CD into itunes and it is creating 5 different albums.
    1 album for most of the songs and 4 other albums for single songs from
    the CD. How can I get itunes software to put all the songs into 1 album?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

    Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

    winkhi
    Just what are the pixel dimensions of these photos that are automatically rotating on you in Premiere Elements 11 workspace after being transferred there from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor? Do I have that correct? If so, how are you making the transfer....Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, Burn to Disc, or other as Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor output?
    What is the scenario...from the camera to the computer hard drive, landscape; from the computer hard drive to the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, landscape; from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets/Timeline, rotated to Portrait?
    Do you find that the frequency of the problem is related to pixel dimensions, number of photos used? What is the format of these photos, jpg or other?
    Are you using the Rotation option in the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to correct the photo rotation?
    Just some thoughts for now.

  • Subtitle workflow. Is it possible to import srt files into premiere and then export to Encore?

    Hi, I'm editing a series of short documentaries that wil be published in DVD with subtitles, and I'm wondering if there's any way to import srt files into Premiere and then export the project to Encore.

    You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude.  It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
    Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips.  Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting.  Don't select the Transcode option.
    Cheers,

  • I've imported a CD into iTunes and it doesn't show up anywhere

    I've imported a CD into iTunes and it doesn't show up. iTunes can't find the album or artist or any song. But when I go to re-import the CD, it says it already has those music items. How can I fix this so the new CD shows up in iTunes?

    Does it show in your "Recently Added" playlist?

  • Import Enterprise Service into Repository and Enhance Service

    Hi experts.
    We've activated with transaction SOAMANAGER a enterprise service discovered in ENTERPRISE SERVICE WORKPLACE in SAP BACKEND.
    In SAP PI we created a external definition from WSDL definition and we've developed a SOAP to SOAP scenario where SOAP receiver is pointing  to this service. Everytring is working fine but I have some doubts.
    1. Is that the best way to proceed? Should I have to import metadata in someway from enterprise service workplace into repository and not create a external definition from import wsdl retrive in ENTERPRISE SERVICE WORKPLACE?
    2. Now we have a new requriment and we have to add to a new field into response message. So we need to enhance the enterprise service. How we can get that?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards.

    Hi.
    We're using 7.11.
    First question resolved. In this guide is explained how to enhance a standard enterprise service:
    [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0bb5687-00b2-2a10-ed8f-c9af69942e5d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
    One of the steps is create a enhanced data type from original data type and then import this enhanced data type to backend with SPROXY transaction. Then you can enhance the standard code with BADIs. But my question is, how I import to SAP PI repository the metadata of a standard enterprise service (data types, message types, service interface). I'm using the enterprise service SupplierERPBasicDataByElementsQueryResponse_In.

  • Importing Synth Names into Logic and the "environment"

    Logic 7.2, OSX.4.something...
    I'm brand spanking new to Logic (migrating from Opcode's Vision...) and I have 3 questions:
    1) The Environment: I've read the user manual chapter on "The Environment" and I'm totally lost. Is there not a way that Logic can read what's attached to it via your MIDI interface/OSX MidiCore setup and create an environment based on this automatically? This would be a good starting point at least, but there's no mention in the manual of this function and it seems crazy that one would have to create each instrument, define each channel and so on down the line.
    2) Once my synthesizer and their channels are defined how do you get synthesizer patch names into logic such that when I pick an instrument from the track or arrange window, I can see a list of all patches available in any given bank for that instrument and pick my sound (ie: send the bank or program change message....) This is not explained anywhere that I could find and I'm curious if there's a way to import via sysex or a universal librarian. I'm an old school Opcode Vision user and I have patch names for all my gear and I can't imgine having to type all the names and even if I did, there's nothing that explains how to do this and assign patch change and bank change commands. Can sombody explain or point me to a resource that explains in laymans terms how to set up ones MIDI environment based on their MIDICore setup and get patch names to come through.
    3) Librarian: I can't find anything that talks about a way to manage patches and instruments within Logic and I need some method of being able to manage and get patches into Logic. Does Logic have a librarian or do I need a 3rd party program? If it doesn't have this, can somebody suggest a program that would meet this function and integrate with Logic such that I can import and manage patches?
    I hope this makes sense to somebody....
    Thanks WAY in advance....

    Hi and welcome fellow former Vision user. I too came from Vision a couple years ago
    to answer
    1) Yes, the 1st time you open logic it looks at your audio midi setup (AMS) to make a basic environment from the info there. if there no hardware synths listed there they will not show up in Logic. Unfortunately Logic does not come with any synth device lists to add to your AMS so there is none to choose from. you will have to define them or you can use the MOTU list. you can download a copy here http://www.digicake.com/midnam/ download the MOTU.sit MOTU uses these midnam files for bank and patch change info. Unfortunately Logic does not use the bank and program information in them, it sure would make setting Logic up much easier
    2) To Get patch names into logic you can type them in one by one or use a word processor doc to import the names Pages 216 and 217 of the manual explain this
    3) Librarian? well sort of... Emagic had one called SoundDiver that I think is still in beta testing for OSX but I am not real familiar with it do a google search and see what you come up with
    I am hoping that someday Apple will use .middev and .midnam files to address outboard synths the same way DP does. That is why I use DP when I want to make standard midi files for outboard synths. DP is very similar to Vision in that way. but for everything else Logic rules

  • Importing home dvd into iDVD and tweaking it?

    I have some home movies that I burnt to dvd using a commercial dvd burner. now I would like to import the movie into imovie or idvd and add chapters, a theme, etc. Is this doable? If so, how? Thanks for any help you can give me.
    G4 dual 800   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    avoid lossy inbetween formats, as mp4 ...
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

    If yes can anyone tell me hoe to do this ?
    Regards,
    Deepu.K

    hi Deepu,
    for simply displaying a URL, you can use the commonly available URL iView.
    your folder->new->create iView->iView from template->URL iView and then enter your URL
    for the other think.......
    you can create an iView from PAR file.
    your folder->new->create iView->Iview from PAR->then select your PAR and create an iView for that.
    and the last one.......to see the effect without deploying it on the portal......refer the link

  • PSE12 Organizer - can you copy photo from one folder to another and import copy into Organizer and still have original in other folder

    I have been using folders to organize all my pictures and I will copy photos from folder to folder, often having them in 2 or 3 folders based on use.  I tried to copy a photo in Organizer PSE12 from one folder to another and you can only move it, that means I can only have one copy of the photo.  That is fine if I am using tags and want to search for it, but I want to have mult copies in mult folders. Organizer will recognize that it is there but it won't import it into the new folder. Until I move it, it stays in the original folder.  I can drag it out of Organizer and drop (copy) it into a new folder fine, but it won't show in organizer in the new folder.  Is there any way to copy and have multiple copies show up in multiple folders?

    Hi,
    The organizer works on the principle of not having multiple copies of the same photo.
    If you have multiple copies spread in different folders, then making changes to one doesn't affect the others. The use of tags and albums are there to give different views of your photos.
    You can't have multiple copies with exactly the same name even if they are in different folders. You could select a photo and duplicate it (File -> Duplicate) and then move the copy into a different folder but the name will be different.
    If you want different folders for a specific reason, it is possible to use albums to collect the group of photos and then export them to a new folder outside of the organizer. You can also rename on export which is useful if you want to arrange the photos in a specific order.
    Hope that helps a bit.
    Brian
