<h1>Copying Attributes</h1> \
<p> \
Adding attributes to parts is a pain. \
This ULP lets you copy the attributes of a single part to a bunch of parts as follows: \
<ol>\
<li>Select one or more parts in the schematic.</li>\
<li>Start the <b>attrib-copy</b> ULP.</li>\
<li>Type the part identifier of the part from which the attributes are to be copied.\
(It doesn't have to be in the selection group.) </li>\
<li>Press <b>OK</b></li>\
</ol>\
<p>\
All the attributes from the given part are copied to every part in the selection under the following conditions:\
<ul> \
<li>The parts have the same value.</li>\
<li>The parts have the same description.</li>\
<li>The parts have the same headline.</li>\
<li>The parts have the same prefix.</li>\
<li>The parts are from the same library.</li>\
<li>The part packages have the same description.</li>\
<li>The part packages have the same headline.</li>\
<li>The part packages are from the same library.</li>\
<li>The part packages have the same name.</li>\
</ul>\
<p>\
As an example of using this tool, suppose you have a schematic with one-hundred parts and twenty of them \
are identical bypass capacitors.  Add the attributes you want to one of these capacitors, say C5. \
Then select the entire schematic and start <b>attrib-copy</b>. \
Type 'C5' into the <b>Copy from</b> field and click on <b>OK</b>. \
Then all the attributes are copied from C5 to every capacitor that has the same characteristics as C5. \
