- CAE Gate Decal Library Help
-
- CAE Gate Decals are used to specify the
- graphical information associated with gates
- of a part in the schematic.
-
- Each decal contains information on the
- outline; default location of the ref-des,
- parttype name and the pad/pin locations.
-
- All text sizes and line widths are in units
- of 0.001 inch.
- All co-ordinate values are in units of
- 0.002 inch.
- -------------------------------------------
- The format for a Decal items is:
- -------------------------------------------
- (Items that are not in capital letters are
- Optional)
-

- ------------------------------------------
- >DECALNAME X Y PIECES TERMS text
-
- DECALNAME : User defined name (max 16 chars)
- X,Y : origin of the symbol
- PIECES : Number of pieces in the decal
- outline
- TERMS : Number of terminals in the
- Decal.
- text : number of text strings associated
- with the decal item (optional).

-
- Substitute as follows:-
- ** <name>
- RD Reference Designator

- TL Tolerance
-
- **X **Y : Default x & y location of <name>.
- **O : Default orientation of <name>
- permitted values - 0 & 270 degrees.
- **J : Default justification of <name> -
- Bit 0: 0 = Left, 1 = Right.
- Bit 1: 0 = Bottom, 1 = Top.
- Bit 2: 0 = Left or Right, 1 = Center.
- Bit 3: 0 = Bottom or Top, 1 = Middle.
- ------------------------------------------
- > VIS RDH RDW PTH PTW
-
- VIS : Default display values for names
- If bit is set then don't display.
- Ref-Des - bit 0
- Part Nm - bit 1
- Value - bit 2
- Tolerance - bit 3
- Pin Num - bit 4
- RDH: Ref-Des text height.
- RDW: Ref-Des text line width.
- PTH: Part Type text height.
- PTW: Part Type text line width.
- ------------------------------------------
- > PIECETYPE NUMCRNS WIDTH
-
- PIECETYPE: Type of piece being described.
- OPEN - segments are open ended.
- CLOSED - segments form closed shape
- 1st & last corners same.
- CIRCLE - piece must have two corners
- which describe the diameter.
- COPOPN - same as OPEN.
- COPCLS - filled shape.
-
- NUMCRNS: Number of corners in the piece.
- WIDTH : Line width to draw the piece outline.
- ------------------------------------------
- > X Y
- or
- > X Y A1 A2 Z LX LY UX UY
-
- X,Y: x,y coordinate of corner
- A1: start angle in degrees of the arc
- A2: angle in degrees subtended by arc.
- Z: not used.
- LX LY UX UY: rectangle around circle on
- which the arc is described.
- ------------------------------------------
- > X Y ORI HEIGHT LWIDTH
-
- X,Y: position of text relative to the
- decal origin.
- ORI: rotation of text (0 or 270).
- HEIGHT: height of the text.
- LWIDTH: line width used to draw the text.
- ------------------------------------------
- > TEXT
-
- TEXT: string of text associated with the
- lines item
- ------------------------------------------
- > T X Y PNUMX PNUMY PNAMX PNAMY TFLAGS PINDECAL
-
- X Y : Location of the terminal relative
- to the decal origin.
- PNUMX PNUMY : Location of the pin number
- relative to the terminal.
- PNAMX PNAMY : Location of the pin name
- relative to the terminal.
- TFLAGS : Orientation & mirroring of terminal,
- pin number, & pin name. Bits are
- defined as follows:-
- bit 0 - Terminal rotated 270 degrees
- bit 1 - Terminal mirrored in X
- bit 2 - Terminal mirrored in Y
- bit 3 - Pin number rotated 270 degr.
- bit 4 - Pin name rotated 270 degr.
- bit 5 - Pin number right justified.
- bit 6 - Pin name right justified.
- PINDECAL: Name of the pin decal.
- ------------------------------------------
- > P TSX TSY TNX TNY PFLAGS
-
- TSX TSY: Position of the Pin Type/Swap text
- relative to the terminal.
- TNX TNY: Unused - Reserved for future use.
- PFLAGS: Orientation, justification and
- visibility of these "names".
- Bits are defined as follows:-
- Bit 0 - Pin Type/Swap rotated 270.
- Bit 2 - Pin Type/Swap right just.
- Bit 4 - Pin Type/Swap invisible.
