axlReplacePadstack axlReplacePadstack

Schendly

 I am trying to learn SKILL and I am going through 'allegroskill.pdf' manual and I can't get the axlReplacePadstack on  page 245 to work.  It says: "The padstack can be referenced by name or a dbid and must be present in the Allegro PCB Editor database"

I tried both dbid and padstack name I am still getting nil. I know how to do it with the Allegro Editor command. 

Thanks for any help.

  • Hi

    Found the issue, you need to load the padstack before it can be used to replace. Code below works fine, so Dave, thanks for the hint in your code with axlLoadPadstack - that did the trick.

    axlClearSelSet()

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall", "vias", "invisible"), ?onButtons list("noall", "vias"))

    axlAddSelectAll()

    selSet = axlGetSelSet()

    axlClearSelSet()

    pad = axlLoadPadstack("via019")

    via = axlReplacePadstack(selSet, pad)

    Best regards
