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 SkillBill

    I'm not sitting in front of PCB Editor at the moment, but when I have difficulties with skill writing script files I normally do the following

    1. Record a new script where I do whatever I want to do.

    2. Carefully check that all my fprintf lines are correct - it only takes a very small spelling or syntax error to fail. Sometimes I even redo the script write commands in my skill program.

    3. Comment out the line "if( isFile( "tmp.scr") then deleteFile("tmp.scr"))" because then I can try running the script "tmp.scr" manually or do a file compare with my previously recorded script.

    4.  Remove +i +n +w +c from the line "fprintf(tmp_file "scriptmode +i +n +w +c\n")" since that may give better warnings as to what the issue could be.

    Hope this helps
