wait the design is loaded to run a SKILL routine

Hello all.

 I need a routine to be run at the loading of the design. But actually, the skill is loaded before open the design. Then I succeeded to launch a routine, but this one does not use the design, it just loads a form.

If I run this new routine that checks a property definition and redefines it if it is wrong, I got an Allegro crash!

 How to make that this new routine starts only once the design is open (and then axlCurrentDesign is different than "").

 Thanks in advance.

    Use the axlTriggerSet function in your allegro.ilinit file to run SKILL code when a database is opened.

     

    Hello rong96.

     Thanks for the reply. In fact I remember that already ask for that and I already got this answer :-)

    In fact, I did in another way the last time I asked for, because I did not succeed in with the axlTriggerSet.

    And it is the same now:

    I have a "(defun redoDesc ()" somewhere. It checks if DESCRIPTION property is defined for "compdefs" and define it again if it is not. So I want this to be run at the loading of the BRD file.

    I tried to put axlTriggerSet('open 'redoDesc) in the allegro.ilinit, it failed. I tried everywhere I can, it never works.

    What's wrong?

    Thanks.
