Find missing SilkScreen RefDes on board design

TiBo

Hi,

Is anyone knows how to find a missing REFDES on silkscreen or assembly layer? Is there a skill code to do that?

From time to time I find a few part on the design missing REFDES, probably they got deleted by accident and I didn't even know about it. It takes a lot of time to check each part on the board. If there are a better way to do this, please do tell.

Thank in advance.

Regard,

TiBo

    Add the following lines to your personal allegro.ilinit file:

    loadContext("AutosilkUtils_public.cxt")
    axlCmdRegister("silkutils" 'ASU_start ?cmdType "interactive")

    Run the code by typing "silkutils" on the Allegro command line.

    It works fine.

    Hi Dave! It seems like this is a 32bit context. Do you have a 64bit version?
