A way to skip Panel component dialog box when using AEFOOTPRINTEQ

[yan_ken]

Hi Folks, 

I'm using the Panel Equipment In Dialog Box (AEFOOTPRINTEQ) to import a list of blocks into my drawing.

While this feature is helpful, I've encountered an issue. Not all items on my list have corresponding footprints in the footprint_lookup MDB. This is on purpose.

When the command encounters an item without a match, it displays the message 'No wiring diagram footprint match for .....' and then opens the Panel component dialog box (Choice A, B C).

To streamline the process, is there a way to automatically skip Panel component dialog box for items that don't have a match. This would be especially beneficial for large BOM lists with numerous items that lack footprints. Currently, I have to manually click 'Cancel' on the Panel component dialog box for each unmatched item, which can be time-consuming."

Thanks!

You would have to create a custom solution using the "API" of AcadE to get this. It's not possible out of the box.

Thanks for the response. I took a look at the API, not sure if it can go that deep of the level.
