skill code to delete existing films

Pieman
Pieman over 15 years ago

Does anyone have a skill code that will delete existing films?

 I have code to create my films from a GUI, but only on a new board file (only top and bottom to start with).

 I need to be able to delete existing films then add my new films, otherwise I get my new films and the old ones still exist.

 Thanks for any help.

    Hi

    I know a number of people have been asking for a standard way to setup a number of artwork films. I've created the attached skill program that can be edited freely to suit personal needs. It's only been tested using millimeters- but be aware of the undefined line width specification in the program.

    Basically it setup a film for each layer and all documentation layers. Etch layers are numbered from 1_ to xx_ where xx is the number of layers.

    Best regards

    Ole

    Very nice code!  Excellent writing style and formatting.  I will use it to improve my SKILL work.

    Thanks,
    Bill
