Store item parameters

Hello!

Is it possible to store all parameters of a item (e.g. a "R") placed on a schematic design in a file using AEL commands?
I try get_item_list (which seems not to work with Custom Library Elements, but well for e.g. R's) to get a list of items, but now I don't know how to get all available parameter names and values ...

Any hints?

Best regards,

Martin.

Hello,

I created a small AEL function which extracts all parameters from a given component. You can download the AEL function here:

get_instance_parameters()

The function returns a list which you can process/output in any way you like. Here's a simple example:

defun ofile(compName)
{
// Get a list of parameter names/values
decl instParms = get_instance_parameters(compName,TRUE,FALSE);

// Open a file for output
decl fid = fopen("test_parms.txt","W");
fputs(fid,strcat("Component=",compName));

// Iterate the list of parameter names/values and write to file
while (instParms)
{
fputs(fid,car(instParms));
instParms = cdr(instParms);
}
fclose(fid);

}

ofile("R1");
