If this does exist I can't find it, and if it doesn't I wish we had it.
A simple text macro interface as found in compilers, makefiles etc. such that I can define a text string once for a project and instance it wherever it's needed. Example: version numbering. I have a 10 schematic sheet project, and when I change the version reference, I have to update all 10 sheets. With, a string defined (somewhere), VERSION 4.02, I can then add text to each sheet, (say) $(VERSION), and when VERSION is updated to 4.03 it is automatically applied to all sheets.
You'll probably tell me RTFM, it exists already.

It doesn't exist explicitly. There are some ways round it, but the problem is that there's nothing that's project wide - it's all design specific (for instance, the document properties associated with a design where they can be displayed by adding a value position).
Would you like this logged as an enhancement request? |
