Quadcept : Convenient Functions

Extract Objects

The Extract Objects command is used to extract components/symbols/footprints(including IPC footprints) placed on schematic/PCB documents in a project. You can extract those objects individually or all at once.

Extract Objects Dialog

  Item Description

(1)

Extract Target

Shows an object type to extract or a project name to extract objects from.

(2)

From

Select where you extract objects from. You can choose one of the following options as the source library.

・Database
This option extracts each object from a Quadcept database. You can select local-db, master-db or local-db/master-db as a source database to extract objects from. If the objects exist in both databases when selecting local-db/master-db, the ones stored in master-db will be extracted preferentially. They will not be extracted if they are not in the databases.

・Placed Library
This option extracts each object from design documents in a project. This allows you to extract the objects without discarding the edits made on the design documents.

(3)

To

Select where you save objects to.

・Database：Saves to the databases you currently connect to.
・qcom　　：Saves to any Windows location as a .qcom file.

(4)

Objects

Select object type(s) to extract. You can choose the following object types for the extraction.

・Component
・Symbol
・Footprint

In addition, the following option is available when Database is selected as a source library to extract objects from.

・Include Assigned Symbol/Footprint
Enables to extract components including the symbols and footprints assigned to them.

(5)

Option

The Exclude master-db Objects option is available when local-db is selected as a source library for the extraction. This option enables you to extract only local-db objects that are not stored in master-db.

 

 

Extracting Objects (All)

Extracting Objects (All)
The following explains how to extract all the objects in a project at once.
(1) Select a project in the Project window and then click [Extract Objects] in the right-click menu.

(2) Select where you extract objects from/to and object type(s) to extract, and then click "OK".
* For details on the Extract Objects dialog, see Extract Object Dialog.

(3) The extraction results will appear.

Click "OK" to proceed.
* Clicking the [Save File] button allows you to save the list of the extraction results.
(4) Specify any location to save objects to.
* When you have chosen Database at the To field, choose a desired library at the left side, select a location to save them to at the right side and then click the "->" button.
* When you have chosen qcom at the To field, select any Windows location, enter a file name and then click "Save".

* Selecting [Skip] allows you to skip the object.

・Overwrite Save:
Overwrites the object.
・Save as another ID:
Saves the object with another ID.
・Skip:
Skips the object.
・Applies same processing to conflicts of X
Applies the selected option to all conflicts.

You can extract each object from schematic sheets / PCB sheets in the same manner.

Extracting Objects (Individually)

Extracting Objects (Individually)
The following explains how to extract only the selected objects on a design sheet.
(1) Select object(s) you wish to extract on a schematic/PCB sheet and then click [Extract Selected Symbol/Component] / [Extract Selected Footprint/Component] in the right-click menu.

　
(2) Select where you extract objects from/to and object type(s) to extract, and then click "OK".
* For details on the Extract Objects dialog, see Extract Object Dialog.

　　
(3) The extraction results will appear.

Click "OK" to proceed.
* Clicking the [Save File] button allows you to save the list of the extraction results.
(4) Specify any location to save objects to.
* When you have chosen Database at the To field, choose a desired library at the left side, select a location to save them to at the right side and then click the "->" button.
* When you have chosen qcom at the To field, select any Windows location, enter a file name and then click "Save".
