9.3.16 ASCII Import – Assigning Component Shape with Mapping Rule List
The ASCII Import Wizard has been enhanced and now offers a method to assign component
placements to available component shapes by defining flexible mapping rule lists.
The already available method of previous SIPLACE Pro versions with which this assignment can
be performed directly via the matching text in the ASCII file may still be used.
The two methods work independently from each other but may be used together. In this case, the
data in the Component Shape column will be used to select the target component shape. The
mapping rule list will only be used for rows in which the component shape field is empty.
With the new mapping method it has to be defined in the Data Headings dialog box, which column
in the ASCII file contains the data to be analyzed for the component shape mapping.
Figure 9-40: Defining column for component shape mapping
By clicking with the right mouse button on the concerned column heading, a contect menu opens in
which Component Shape Mapping can be defined for this column.
Thereafter, the buttons for Component Shape Mapping are enabled in the upper right edge of the
window. Here, available mapping rule lists can be imported, edited or deleted and new mapping
rule lists created.

The mapping rule lists are created and edited in the Component Shape Mapping Rules dialog
box.
Figure 9-41: Mapping rule list
Each row in the mapping rule list describes a component shape mapping rule. Exact matches as
well as wildcard characters and regular expressions can be used in the descriptions.
The list text in the left part of the dialog box can be edited directly and so rules from external source
files can be inserted in the list by using copy&paste. Additionally, new mapping rules can be
generated in the upper right part of the dialog box.
After all mandatory columns have been configured (i.e., reference designator, component, X, Y and
angle) and the mapping rule list has been assigned, source and target directories have to be
defined in which the system shall search for matches.
If no component shape column has been defined or no data can be found in the component shape
column, the ASCII Import Wizard will use any matches found in the component shape mapping
column. If no matches should be found there, the ASCII Import Wizard will create a new
component shape and give it a name that reflects the content in the component shape mapping
column. Thus, the user does not have to search for the positions in the placement list to which the
component shape shall be referenced.
The results of the component shape mapping are displayed in the Summary dialog box.

9.3.17 Importing Components from BOM File into Placement Lists
In a so-called BOM file (Bill of Material) it is defined which components shall be placed on which
placement positions. Frequently, the BOM file is administered by an ERP system (Enterprise
Resource Planning) from which it can be exported as a text file.
With the new BOM Merger tool a BOM text file can be imported by SIPLACE Pro and the
contained part numbers (= components) inserted or exchanged in available placement lists.
Prerequisites
– At least one placement list containing component placement positions must have been defined
for the board in the board description.
– The user must have the corresponding authorizations (reading boards, reading and editing
placement lists, reading and creating components).
The BOM Merger can be started in SIPLACE Pro Desk under Tools – Import – BOM Merger.
Figure 9-42: BOM Merger
The following information has to be entered in the BOM Merger:
– Target placement list in which the new data shall be entered.
– Source folder in which the BOM Merger shall search for available components.
– Output folder in which the BOM Merger reads components or creates new components.
– BOM file containing the data.
The component names will be exchanged for all placement positions in the BOM file for which
matching reference designators are found in the placement list.
If the component is available in the component source folder, only a link is added between
placement position and component. If the component is not available in the component source
folder, a new component will be created in the component target folder and a link will be added
between the placement position and the new component. A matching component shape has to be
assigned manually for the new component (outside of the BOM Merger).
