Compare tool

[Miguel]

Hi, I am working with an application that already access al the components from the Active Document via PowerPCB.Application and Document objects,

I would like to obtain the Differences Information that the Tools/Compare-ECO Tools menu option gives me.
I am using ECOGEN (DOS) and it works pretty good, but my problem is that it requires .asc and not .pcb, I can convert them by ActiveDocument.ExportASCII(new_pcb.asc) but it requires the active document and i am not suppose to open another design...Is there a way to convert several designs from pcb to asc without having to open them?


thanks

I don't know of any way to do that.

Thanks,

Anyway, I am trying with macros right know...
I started off by recording a macro, I walked thru the steps to compare, and finally I modified the macro from the outside application ....Its a little slow but I couldnt find another way.
