Map File Standard Conventions and Examples
In the ecad_hint.map file:
• The # character is the comment character.
• Object and value fields are separated by a space.
• Spaces are permitted in value strings if the string is surrounded by quotation marks.
• Wildcard (*) is valid for "all", for example:
mcad_in_ignore ->
ecad_name "resistor"
ecad_alt_name "*"
ecad_type "part"
ref_des "*"
end
• Each section begins with the purpose, followed by "->".
• Each section ends with "end". For example:
map_objects_by_name->
ECAD_NAME "GEN_DIP"
ECAD_ALT_NAME "GEN_DIP"
ECAD_TYPE ""
MCAD_NAME "PROE_GEN_DIP"
CAD_TYPE "part"
end
• If you include the string ecad_create_hint_add N in the config.pro file, the .add file is not created.
