Hi All,
Is there any tool that can place the mounting hole from excel ?
I tried to use the ALE - Pattern Place but it crushed..
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for the reply...
I need to place the MH on Cell Editor so I think you use the Layout ?
I didn't understand the "\ how to connect to the pcb-application" part.... could you please explain ?
you need to declare pcbDoc and validate server, as for any script running in celleditor/Layout
check automation example for that
Hi
I don't know what you mean with tool, but you can enter code in excel to put a mounting hole
Please have a look to the excel examples in SDD_HOME\standard\examples\pcb\Automation\Excel\ how to connect to the pcb-application
For putting mounting holes you can use this code for example after you did the connection to pcb application
On Error Resume Next
Set netobj = Nothing
x = Sheets(1).Cells(2, 1)
y = Sheets(1).Cells(2, 2)
pst = Sheets(1).Cells(2, 3)
Set mpst = pcbDoc.PutPadstack(1, pcbDoc.LayerCount, pst, False, True)
If Not mpst Is Nothing Then
pcbDoc.TransactionStart epcbDRCModeNone
Set mhole = pcbDoc.PutMountingHole(x, y, mpst, netobj, Nothing)
pcbDoc.TransactionEnd
end if
