Title: Downloading Doug's parts
Post by: Willabe on October 28, 2022, 12:57:26 pm

Is there a way to download a whole group of parts at once? Or do they have to be downloaded 1 at a time?   

Say I want to download all of your F&T Ecaps. If I hi-lite them as a group they come in as a group and are stored as a group. If I download them 1 at a time, I also have to label/name them 1 at a time too.

Just looking for a faster way to download all the parts that you have already made.

   Thanks Doug,   Willabe

I have .diy parts files in the library
Is that what you want to download?

The files are here
https://el34world.com/charts/DiyLayoutCreator/files/Template_Files/Template_Files.htm (https://el34world.com/charts/DiyLayoutCreator/files/Template_Files/Template_Files.htm)


Just right click on a file and save as
xml files are files you can import into DIYLC

The .diy files are files you can open
Then copy and paste them into your drawings

If you want just a few parts, let me know and I will export just those parts for you

Thanks Doug, I got them imported, but,

When I open the parts file, it shows them labeled/named correctly, as you labeled/named them.   

But when I click on say a .02/600v cap to put it on the board/work space it now says C1. Same for resistors, put it on the board, R1.

You will have to change the display to value
The names are probably already there, you just have to change what you want displayed


Edit the parts and change the display to value
