I have a simple question. What is the significance of the $ as an attribute name? Are their any "special" attribute names? Also, I am about to standardize my standard attribute names, any advice or suggestion will be appreciated. Some of the features I want are: Good BOM output, alternate mfg/part numbers, vender lists, internal number, value, specifications... I have 3 prototype board, and I am about to rework them for production boards, and want to do it nice and neat. I am using PowerLogic 1.2, but I don't think this has changed much. Best regards, Giles
