Improvements to "Attribute" Dialogue

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

While reflecting why I actually wanna have the "attributes" in the

property dialogue of a part editable directly in the property dialogue

itself, I actually found out what annoys me most on the current

"attribute" dialogue.

 

That is, for simply changing a value in an already populated list, you

have to select the line with the value you wanna change in it,

doubleclick it, which leads to the opening of a sub dialog where I again

have to select the value, edit it, select if I wanna have it visible or

not and so on.

 

This would be much more easy if you could just type directly in the

dialog and just tick the corresponding checkboxes if you wish to have

them visible.

 

I made a mockup dialogue how I imagine this could look like.

 

Maybe there could be a "All Names visible" and "All Values visible"

button to check/uncheck all boxes in the corresponding columns.

 

95% of all time I edit attribute values that have been pre-created for

each part with a script in advance, so the focus of the dialogue should

be more on make changes easy, than on make creation of the attribute

structure easy (e.g. add new attributes).

    That's a good idea for schematic and board attributes

    but does not fit for library atribute dialog. There we have a matrix of combinations.

    Anyway thanks for your suggestion !
