help:use axlAirGap() in text

tingletingle

    car(last(axlAirGap(each_solder each_silk axlConductorTopLayer())))

I want to get air gap between soldermask element and silkscreen element, but it always returns nil when silk element is text.

whether the axlAirGap() can check text or not?

Allgro version:15.7

OS:Windows XP SP2

  • You will find that, even if you could measure between soldermask and text, it won't be very useful as the measure for text is done from the text's bounding box. It is quite painful to do a "correct" and useful measure. See my autosilkUtils code (it's in the Skill repository on SourceLink) to see how I have done it. Basically I create a set of temporary shapes, tracing the font of the text, and measure to those shapes from the soldermask pad.

  • I think it is useful.

    I also think about this idea first, but I am afraid to damage design file if some errors in running this command.

    However, I will try it again, thank you Dave.
