Notes

schdoc file format

Record ids:

  • 1: a part, type identified by either "LIBREFERENCE" or "DESIGNITEMID"
  • 2: a pin on a part
  • 6: a "drawing" I think... "Xn"/"Yn" are values of where a line should be drawn
  • 34: a designator?
  • 41: text associated with a part - lots of different types indicated by "NAME"
    • PinUniqueId: I suspect a unique id for the associated pin
    • Fitted: ...wat?
    • Comment: self explanatory
  • 44: a container of "models" aka record 45's - see below
  • 45: appears to be a reference to which "model" a particular part can be represented by. Since this is just a possible model, the one actually selected for a given part will have the "ISCURRENT" flag set to "T"
