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

    Thanks for the kind words. I usually just cut out the trapsize part of my scripts, the online helps says the following about trapsize.

    In Allegro-generated scripts, the tool automatically adds a "trapsize <value>" at the start of a script, after every change in zoom factor, and when opening new databases. If you generate scripts manually, place a "trapsize 0" at the start of a script to ensure that it replays independently of a design's zoom level.

    The value, in design units, describes the trap box size where to find objects when an object pick is encountered in a script. A value of 0 requires a pick on an object.

    Best regards
