Change text height

steve

Does anyone know if there is any skill code avaliable to change the text block height of specifc groups of components ? What I want to do is only select components with a refdes of R or C and increase or decrease their text block height.

Thanks

  • Hi Steve,

    The following snippet might help you.

    Cheers, Dave

    defun( replaceRefdesTextHgt (refdesPrefixString, newTextBlock, layer, "ttt")
     let((txtObjs, txtOrient, result, (n 0))
      axlClearSelSet()
      axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall", "invisible", "text"), ?onButtons list("noall", "text"))
      axlAddSelectAll()
      txtObjs = setof(dbid, axlGetSelSet(), dbid ->layer == layer && dbid ->textBlock != newTextBlock && rexMatchp(strcat(refdesPrefixString, "[0-9]+[.]*"), dbid ->text))
      axlClearSelSet()
      foreach(txtId, txtObjs
        txtOrient = make_axlTextOrientation(?textBlock newTextBlock, ?rotation txtId ->rotation, ?mirrored txtId ->isMirrored, ?justify txtId ->justify)
        result = axlDBCreateText(txtId ->text, txtId ->xy, txtOrient, txtId ->layer, txtId ->parent)
        when(result, axlDeleteObject(txtId), n++)
      )
      n
    ))

    Usage example: replaceRefdesTextHgt("C", "18", "REF DES/ASSEMBLY_TOP")

  • Hi Dave,

    Another spectacular insight into SKILL, I guess it must be mid-winter for you which is how come you have the time to invent all this stuff!

    Many thanks for all of your contributions!
