Hi,

    All, When I Open The Artwork Control Form To Setup The General Parameters In PCB Editor, The System  Always Required To Confirm "Artwork output type (GERBER6X00) does not match the format used in dynamic shapes parameters (GERBER_RS274)....". And My Question is "How To Get And Set Global Dynamic Shape Parameters By Using SKILL?" Thanks.

     Hi MaHongbing,

    This isn't exactly the answer to your question, but it might be helpful nonetheless: Have you tried using an art_param.txt file? This file is generated automatically whenever you adjust your artwork parameters and it's in the \physical folder of your project directory structure. You copy the art_param.txt file to $CDS_SITE\pcb or $ALLEGRO_SITE and have the artwork parameters applied to all PCBs at your location.

    This is attacking your problem from the other direction, but hopefully it is of some use to you.
