DEHDL SKILL active drawing function

arge

Hello,

 

In the Allegro Design Entry HDL SKILL reference guide, I can obtain the active drawing with the cnFindActiveDwg function. When I want to collect all bodies, wires, arcs, etc, I see that I only can collect these items from the active drawing.

Is there a function in SKILL to change the active drawing, so that I can obtain these primitve objects from another drawing in my project ?

 

Thanks in advance,

  • Hi Arge,

    I think you can do this something like this (where the handle is predefined) 

     

    dwgInfo = cnGetDwgInfo(handle)

    dwgObjs = cnGetDwgs(dwgInfo)

    dwgObj = car(dwgObjs); need to have a user selection here!

    dwgName = cnGetDwgFullName(dwgObj)

    libName = cnGetDwgName(dwgObj)

    viewName = cnGetDwgView(dwgObj)

    version = cnGetDwgVersion(dwgObj)

    page = cnGetDwgPage(dwgObj)

    cncptCmd = sprintf(nil, "edit %s.%s.%d.%d", libName, viewName, version, page)

    cnSendCommand(handle cncptCmd)
