>> Hello everyone,
>>
>> Short summary.
>> I have been working with Miguel behind the scenes trying to get scripting

>> One of the first thing we can do with scripting is generating foot-prints.
>> Miguel already has an example working. (parametric footprint)
>> Since the Farnell/Element14 website recently is making footprints

>> Some things are easy: getting a file from their website, like
>> http://www.farnell.com/cad/1550314.zip
>> Parsing this will not be hard, just some work.
>>
>> ** I do have a problem: how to get from an order code : 1885120 on
>> farnell to the number 1550314. **
>>
>> Once we have the zip file, the order code is easily found, since it is in
>> the zip file:
>>
>> Attribute OC_NEWARK '41T0725';
>> Attribute OC_FARNELL '1885120';
>>
>> Any thoughts or experience you want to share?

>> Thanks,
