NC Drill

SKILLBILL
SKILLBILL over 15 years ago
Hello First post on this forum :) So far i was learning from your experience searching everything in this forum wiithout asking a single question. I want to thank all who share information on this forum, especially eDave, Ole, Oldmoudy and vramanan. You are my gurus. You probably dont know it but you helped me a lot =D Ok back to the point. I am facing dificulty. Basicly i am stuck with nc drill. What I have to do: I need to generate NC Drill (Exactly i need .drl file) Manualy there is no problem to make this file. I go to Manufacture >> NC >> NC Drill and click Drill Question is how to do it with a script. I tried with nctape_full function but no luck. Have anyone used this function before, and can show an example ? Can anyone give me an idea how to use this function and execute this Drill command. There must be a way. If it can be done manualy there has to be a way to automate it. Help please I read in this presentation www.cadence.com/.../5.4_presentationIndia.pdf that there is a way to execute multiiple commands ("Single stroke with multiple commands" section) for example alias

     Hi Very kind words indeed

     Both methods mentioned will work

    This is my way of doing

    save the following as a nc.scr and type replay nc.scr

     

    setwindow pcb

    ncdrill param
    setwindow form.nc_parameters
    FORM nc_parameters decimal_places 5
    FORM nc_parameters suppress_lead_zeroes YES
    FORM nc_parameters suppress_equal YES
    FORM nc_parameters done 
    setwindow pcb
    nctape_full
    setwindow form.nc_drill
    FORM nc_drill tape_name nctape.drl
    FORM nc_drill scale 1.000
    FORM nc_drill separate_tapes YES
    FORM nc_drill auto_tool_select YES
    FORM nc_drill repeat_codes NO
    FORM nc_drill repeat_codes YES
    FORM nc_drill execute 
    FORM nc_drill close 
    setwindow pcb
