component_height.il

LRCohen

I'm running Allegro v16.2. Although I am loading it in my 'allegro.ilinit' file with my other skill routines, when I try to use 'component_height.il', I get an error saying ' E - Command not found: height'. Can anyone help ?

  •  On the Allegro command line type (assumes PCB L Perf or better):

       skill axlCmdList()

    You should see the "height" command as one of the registered Allegro cmds (left side of list).
    If you don't see it look at the right side for component_height. If that is present the left side will list the actual Allegro cmd as the skill file might have been modified to change the allegro command name.

     If you don't see component_height type on allegro cmd line:

    skill component_height

    If you see the error: "E- Error toplevel: undefine variable - component_height" then you are not loading the skill file correctly.

     

  •  When I loaded it as Randy suggested, I got the same results. I now see it as a registered command. I ran it, but unfortunately, it doesn't do much. I guess it does need updating. I sent an email to the author listed in the skill file, but it bounced back to me.

     Thanks for taking the time to try to help.

  • Try this one.  I think the one on Sourcelink needs to be updated to use the PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX property.  It is looking for text attached to the PLACE_BOUND_xxxxx shape.
