mixed library settings of DBUperUU for schematic and schemat

[fogh]

Hi ,

I have been trying a bit to fix a nasty situation:
one designer created schematics and symbols (lots of them) with these
DBUperUU settings
schematic:5 schematicSymbol:100 snapgrid:0.05
This gives problems to those want to use his schematics in a library
with default settings
schematic:160 schematicSymbol:160 snapgrid:0.0625

I tried a few obvious things like modifying/deleting the DBUPerUU
property, and unsing the dfII/bin/scale utility, but did not find a
satisfactory solution.
It seems to me the solution would require snapping the symbols to the
new grid, and doing the same to schematics. I wouldn t know how to do
that, but maybe some skill gurus around here a a bit of code that would
help.

Also, if you think there is a simpler solution than resnapping
everything, please tell !

The DFII "Scale" command (changes dbuperuu & magnification) is the correct
command to use to change the scaling.

Just remember, in DFII, the DBUPERUU property is stored in multiple places.
I think it can be in up to four different places (check the manual).

I don't remember exactly where I saw that, but I think it can be stored
in the techfile, the cellview, the cdsenv file, and one other place. Maybe
one of your DBUPERUU properties is winning out over the ones you are changing.

Again, check the manual for the four locations the DBUPERUU is stored.
Maybe someone who knows this better can post them for you.
