Change text block size, Allegro script and skill

skillnewbie

hi,

I want to change a text block size (#16). i run a script recording and get this from the *.scr 

 setwindow pcb
trapsize 302
define text
setwindow form.textblock
FORM textblock 16 width 0.1000
FORM textblock 16 height 0.1000
FORM textblock 16 line_spacing 0.0200
FORM textblock 16 photoplot_width 0.0100
FORM textblock done 
setwindow pcb

just wonder what the FORM means in a script file...it is not a valid command in Allegro

 is it possible to enclose the FORM statements in skill code?

  • I use the 19 of the text block sizes. All my parts in my libraries are done with different sizes of text and i would like to try and set these to the same sizes. I need a script or skill file to do this. I tried doing my first script and i'm getting no where. First question, i'm using 16.2 performance, can i do scripts with this? This is how i'm going about doing the script. I open up the text block window. Then in command line i type in "script". A window comes up and i enter a filename then click on record, sometime after this the GUI window dissappears. I go through and edit the 19 text sizes, but when i'm done there is no place to click "stop recording". Can i type in something in the command line to end the script? Is there an easier way to do this? After i'm done i would like to send it to another site so they can can set up the texts to match ours.

    any help would be appreciated,
