axlEnterPoint() enters skill mode, how to exit

Ejlersen

Hi

I've written a skill program that uses axlEnterPoint() to get the coordinates of either a cursor pick, a via or a pin

when I use this command the "status bar" of PCB Editor says "skill" which means it enters skill mode, however after selecting a point, via or pin it does not return to idle.

So the only way to get away from this is to select another command in pcb editor and cancel that.

Does anyone know how this can be avoided?

  • Hi Ole,

    I see this problem when I type  the command on the Skill console command line. I then have to type "done" in the main console window or axlShell("done") in the Skill console. I don't see the problem with a utility run in Interactive mode but you must run the command from the main console with the registered command - not the Skill console.
