mentor xpedtion 从设计文件中抽取Symbol和CELL并创建器件的方法

参考连接：https://communities.mentor.com/thread/11946，

步骤大概如下：
How to extract symbols from schematics?

1.Since the symbols are cached in DxDesigner project use the following steps to extract symbols from one schematic for use in a new design.

Export the schematic in EDIF format
Open a design in DxDesigner

Use the menu File > Export > EDIF Schematic… to open the EDIF Interfaces dialog box

In the Schematic/Symbol field enter the schematic name

Check the Convert Design Hierarchically option

Check the Map attributes to properties option

Click the OK button and review the Output results window for any issues

2.Import the EDIF schematic into new DxDesigner project

In DxDesigner create a new project
Use the menu File > Import > EDIF Schematic to open the EDIF Interfaces dialog box
In the Inputfield enter the path to EDIF Schematic (.eds) file produced above
Click the OK button and review the Output results window for any issues
All of the symbols will be written to the [local symbols] of the new project

Extract the symbols from schematics
While still in DxDesigner, select the menu View > DxDataBook to see the created symbols
Select the CL Viewtab near the bottom of the DxDataBook window
Next select the Symbol View tab to view the [local symbols] library
Expand [local symbols] and select all the symbols using the mouse
Right mouse button on a selected item and choose Export Symbol(s)
In the Browse For Folder dialog navigate to a location where you want to write the ASCII symbol files
Click the OK button and confirm that the ASCII symbols have been written

总之，目的就是为了：先把symbol转成local symbol，然后才可以右键菜单导出symbol。

在PCB项目中导出padstacks、Cell和Part

在xpedition PCB中，File->Export->Design Data。这三个hkp文件默认存放在项目的\PCB\Output\ExportDesignData文件夹中。

如果一个器件含有多个symbol，导出时分别是以.1/.2/.3为尾缀时，在将这些导入到另一个中心库之前，需要为各个symbol起唯一的名称，并将尾缀统一调整为.1形式
