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?

  • To stop recording a script select File >Script from the menu and then in the Scripting GUI select "Stop"

    Cadence online support solution 1815913 and 11118650 describes how to create a script that will set all of the text blocks the same size for each drawing.The short version is:

    Bring up the text block editor
    Use "Control" "P" on your keyboard to bring up a GUI that lets you save the form as a script.
    Edit the file created to remove the last 3 lines which compact, reset, and add blocks
    Save the file

    In the Allegro editor replay the script
