How to get hole tolerance properties from padstack information and also change their value?

Hi all,

I have learnt Skill language for about 1month. Because some accidental courses, I need to change a lot of padstacks' hole tolerance.

I tried using loadPadStack("padname") to get dbid of target padstack, but I couldn't found any properties about hole tolerance.

Can someone kindly help me solve this question?

 Thanks and Sincerely,

 Bruenor

    Hi guys,

    One way (maybe the only way) is to use extracta.

    These are fields I use in one utility that needs the tolerances:

    COMPOSITE_PAD
      DRILL_HOLE_NAME != ""
      PAD_STACK_NAME
      DRILL_HOLE_TYPE
      DRILL_HOLE_NAME
      DRILL_HOLE_NAME2
      DRILL_HOLE_NONSTANDARD
      DRILL_HOLE_PLATING
      DRILL_HOLE_POSTOL
      DRILL_HOLE_NEGTOL
      DRILL_HOLE_X
      DRILL_HOLE_Y
      DRILL_ARRAY_LOCATIONS
      START_LAYER_NAME
      END_LAYER_NAME
      START_LAYER_NUMBER
      END_LAYER_NUMBER
      DRILL_FIGURE_CHAR
      DRILL_FIGURE_SHAPE
      DRILL_FIGURE_WIDTH
      DRILL_FIGURE_HEIGHT
      DRILL_FIGURE_ROTATION

    Regards, Dave
