Help Needed for Quickplace using Skill/Script

vramanan

Hi Guys

 This is my intention

A script that will

1.Go and place all the symbols w.r.to its Schematic page number

2. Draw a dynamic rectangle around the placed symbols

3. Place a Text indicating the Page #

 I understand that I can do a script/skill  combination to do this

I can go around finding the exact numbers of pages by just giving a number and looping through it

 I see that the quickplace will create a log  which has xy for the placed symbols, I could use it to determine the Rectangle size

 

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome, I am willing to code and share it in the forum

 

If my above idea sounds viable, I need some pointers on reading a text file using skill

regards

Venkata
