PCB: Properties attached to a component instance

Thierry22

Hello,

 In my Allegro PCB I have a property attached to the component instance, and I would like to extract it using a skill script but how ?

Is there any body having this issue?

 Thanks for your help

  • Here's a small routine I have to display a data sheet based on the component part number property. I hope it adequately demonstrates how to obtain component properties:

    defun( ShowCompDataSheets ()
     let((dataShtsPath, popup, partNumber, pdfFile)
      dataShtsPath = "XXXXXXXXXX/DATASHEETS/"
      popup = axlUIPopupDefine(nil, list(list("Done", 'axlFinishEnterFun), list("Cancel", 'axlCancelEnterFun)))
      axlUIPopupSet(popup)
      axlSetFindFilter( ?enabled list( "NOALL" "COMPONENTS" "NAMEFORM") ?onButtons "COMPONENTS")
      while(axlSelect()
        partNumber = get(car(axlGetSelSet()) ->compdef ->prop, "PART_NUMBER")
        if(partNumber then
          pdfFile = strcat(dataShtsPath, partNumber, ".pdf")
          if(isFile(pdfFile) then axlPdfView(pdfFile) else axlUIConfirm("No pdf data sheet exists for this component"))
         else
          axlUIConfirm("This component has no part number as required to locate a datasheet")
        )
      )
      axlUIPopupSet(nil)
    ))

    Hi eDave,

    I've tried using the existing skill code "dsht.il" with some little modifications. allegro 17.2

    "search = strcat("">www.google.com/search, value)
    axlHttp(google_search)" this function not working

    axlCmdRegister( "show_datasheet" 'ShowCompDataSheets)

    defun( ShowCompDataSheets ()
    let((dataShtsPath, popup, value, pdfFile,search)
    dataShtsPath = "C:/Users/Pradeep/Desktop/test/DATASHEETS/"
    popup = axlUIPopupDefine(nil, list(list("Done", 'axlFinishEnterFun), list("Cancel", 'axlCancelEnterFun)))
    axlUIPopupSet(popup)
    axlSetFindFilter( ?enabled list( "NOALL" "COMPONENTS" "NAMEFORM") ?onButtons "COMPONENTS")
    while(axlSelect()
    value = get(car(axlGetSelSet()) ->compdef ->prop, "PART_NUMBER")
    if(value then
    pdfFile = strcat(dataShtsPath, value, ".pdf")
    if(isFile(pdfFile) then axlPdfView(pdfFile)
    else
    search = strcat("">www.google.com/search, value)
    axlHttp(search)
    )
    else
    axlUIConfirm("No part number as required to locate a datasheet")
    )
    )
    axlUIPopupSet(nil)
    ))

    Thanks for your help
