API for grid change

Khurana
Khurana over 15 years ago

Hi,

Is there an API for changing the design grid (etch layers)?  I do see a Skill file in the Allegro Skill download for changing grids but I'm interested in building my own Skill file for changing design grids.

Thanks,
Varun

    axlDBGridGet and axlDBGridSet are available in 16.3

    Example: 

    grid = axlDBGridGet("TOP")
    grid->name = 'etch
    grid->xGrids = '(5.0 7.0)
    grid->yGrids = '(5.0 6.0)
    axlDBGridSet(grid)

     Dave, where did you find axlDBGridSet?  It's not in the algroskill.pdf.
