skill program to create shape symbol

Ejlersen

Hi

Attached, find a small utility to help creating rectangular shapes with rounded corners for shape symbols to be used inside a pad

Usage: File, New, Shape symbol

Run the program "ns_spad"

Add width(x), height(y) and a radius in the dialog shown

Hit run to create the shape.

Have fun :-)

  • Hi vramanan

     

    This is great. Wonderfull. I made it, thx to your idea vramanan. I have created padstack.

    You are 100% right. With the help of axlDBCreatePadStack function padstack is virtualy created in allegro database.

    Export of the padstack allso works.

     

    Right now I am working on a way to automaticaly export this pad.

    Some time ago mr Ejlersen showed me a way to fill forms that pop up in allegro.

    Back then i was filling form that poped after nctape_full command

    and i used this code

    tmp_file = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_SCRIPT", "tmp", "w")
          fprintf(tmp_file "scriptmode +i +n +w +c\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "nctape_full\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow form.nc_drill\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "FORM nc_drill tape_name NC_Drill_%s.drl\n" filename)
          fprintf(tmp_file "FORM nc_drill auto_tool_select YES\n")
         fprintf(tmp_file "FORM nc_drill separate_tapes NO\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "FORM nc_drill repeat_codes YES\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "FORM nc_drill optimize YES\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "FORM nc_drill execute\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "FORM nc_drill close\n")
          fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
          axlDMClose(tmp_file)
          axlShell("replay tmp")
          if( isFile( "tmp.scr") then deleteFile("tmp.scr"))
          printf("NC Drill created succesfully\n")

     

    now i tried to modify it a little but i dont know the name of the form dlib opens.

    This is what I have tried:

    tmp_file = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_SCRIPT", "tmp", "w")
             fprintf(tmp_file "scriptmode +i +n +w +c\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "dlib\n")    
             fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow form.export_libraries\n") ; this is where i am wrong forms name aint form.export_libraries
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries mechanical_symbols NO\n") ;checkbox set to NO but i am not sure to the name of those checkboxes. I used the names i found in help under "dlib"
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries package_symbols NO\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries format_symbols NO\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries shape_and_flash_symbols NO\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries device_files NO\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries padstacks YES\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries no_library_dependencies NO\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries execute\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "FORM export_libraries close\n")
             fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
             axlDMClose(tmp_file)
             axlShell("replay tmp")
            if( isFile( "tmp.scr") then deleteFile("tmp.scr"))

    it doesnt work...tho..

    If you have a clue of those params pls tell me. I feel i am so close :)

    Damn you are good vramanan :D

    I am realy happy and impressed

    Have a nice day
