SKILL code to generate lower routes with same path properties of the selected path

Neeraj Vardhan

Hi,

I am trying to generate lower routes with same path properties as of the selected path. Can any one assist me how can i do it using SKILL.

Thanks

  • Neeraj,

    I was right - the problem is outside the code you originally posted...

    Most functions in SKILL return the last thing executed. The cond() function is the same - it is of this form:

    cond(
      (condExpr1 expr11 expr12 expr13)
      (condExpr2 expr21 expr22 expr23)
      ...
    )

    It tries each conditional expression (e.g. condExpr1) and if non-nil, the rest of that branch is executed. It will successively evaluate exprN1, exprN2, exprN3 and so on, and the return value will be the last expression on that branch (e.g. expr13 or expr23). In your case, the condition branch for w>=0.28  has two expressions, the two list() calls - and the return value will be the second of these.

    Since you want it to be a list of lists, the answer is to alter the code have the cond() one level up, so for example:

     

       ?subRect
        
             cond(
       
       (w <=0.27
               
       list(
                                                         list(
            
                ?layer   list("VIA1" "drawing")
                  ?width     0.05
              ?length     0.05
                ?beginOffset  -0.05
                              ?endOffset    -0.05
      ?beginSegOffset 0
      ?endSegOffset 0
      ;?space 0
    ?sep 0
    ?choppable t
    ?justification "center"
    ;?gap 0.08
    ;?connectivity "none" 
        
            )     
                                                           )
                                   )
         
         
         (w >=0.28 list(  
       
       list(
        
                 ?layer   list("VIA1" "drawing")
                 ?width     0.05
               ?length     0.05
                 ?beginOffset  -0.05
                             ?endOffset    -0.05
     ?beginSegOffset 0
     ?endSegOffset 0
     ?space 0.08
     ?sep 0.075
     ?choppable t
     ?justification "center"
     ?gap "distribute"
                                
                            )
     
                     list(
         
                 ?layer   list("VIA1" "drawing")
                 ?width     0.05
               ?length     0.05
                 ?beginOffset  -0.05
                             ?endOffset    -0.05
     ?beginSegOffset 0
     ?endSegOffset 0
     ?space 0.08
     ?sep -0.065
     ?choppable t
     ?justification "center"
     ?gap "distribute"
     
                                
                              )
                  )
       )  
         ) 
     
     
    Your brackets didn't match properly in your code, and it looked as if you'd tried to get the second branch to return a list of lists, but since you had a list() around the cond, that wouldn't have been correct either.
     
    BTW, you shouldn't use css() in your code. This is a private SKILL function and not documented. It might get changed or removed at some point in the future. So use car(geGetSelSet()) instead.
