EDB: merge utility

This example shows how you can use the PyAEDT toolkit to create the WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) for Windows usage. It runs a merge between two EDBs (package on board).

Download example

The example contains everything that you need to run it. You can customize the JSON file to change the settings.

import tempfile

from pyaedt.downloads import download_edb_merge_utility

python_file = download_edb_merge_utility(force_download=True, destination=tempfile.gettempdir())
desktop_version = "2022.2"

Launch Python script

You can launch a Python script in AEDT (Tools->Run Script) or from the CPython command line.

For this example, four items are downloaded:

• package.aedb folder contains a package example.

• board.aedb folder contains a board example.

• merge_wizard.py file contains the Python script to run.

• merge_wizard_settings.json file contains the settings.

You can launch the merge_wizard.py file in AEDT (Tools->Run Script) or from the # CPython command line. This script works only on Windows with UI.

The merge_wizard_settings.json file contains default settings that can be used in any other project to automatically load all settings.

You can edit the following lines to launch a Python script from the Python interpreter:

# from pyaedt.generic.toolkit import launch
# launch(python_file, specified_version=desktop_version, new_desktop_session=False, autosave=False)
