     Hi geek,

     That's a vague request, but I suggest just beginning by looking at some SKILL functions. If you have prior programming experience, such as C, it won't be too much of a stretch to pick up.

     Here's a thread created recently on the same topic http://www.cadence.com/community/forums/T/13887.aspx.

     Also look at folders in $CDSROOT\doc for algroskill, conceptsk, and sk* folders. The files there will help you get started. $CDSROOT\share\pcb\examples\skill is rife with SKILL information as well.
