How to Extract Through Holes and Slots Seperately

ahood

Hi

I am trying to extract a seperate count for Through Holes with Hole Type set as: Circle_Drill as opposed to those set as: Oval_Slot or Rectangle_Slot. Can anyone assist as I am not sure what the command to pull the Hole Type out is?

 Below is a section from my skill script that just selects all Through Hole Pads

 foreach(pin pins_list
 if(pin->isThrough == t then
  pin_xy = pin->xy
  padstack = car(pin->pads)->parent
  drill = padstack->drillDiameter
  pin_name = padstack->name
  plating = axlDBGetDrillPlating(pin_name)
  if(drill > 0 then
   if(rexMatchp("NON PLATED" plating) == nil then
    if(member(drill pdrill_list) == nil then
     pdrill_list = cons(drill pdrill_list)
    )
   else
    if(member(drill npdrill_list) == nil then
     npdrill_list = cons(drill npdrill_list)
    )
   )
   pin_count++

 

Regards

  • Hi Dave

     

    Thanks for the quick response, I tried something similar, but am not sure of the correct  "holeType" entry,

    neither of these below appear to work

     

    if(pin->isThrough == t && pin->definition->holeType->circle_drill == t then

     or 

    if(pin->isThrough == t && pin->definition->holeType == circle_drill then

    Regards

  • I did  a similar code for extracting the padstack info and below is the part of the code which u use for extracting the padstack and drill info

     

     

    axlPurgePadstacks('padstacks nil)

                axlPurgePadstacks('via nil)

                axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall" "pins") ?onButtons list("noall" "pins"))

                pin_dbids = axlGetSelSet(axlAddSelectAll())

                axlClearSelSet(); clear all selection

                throu_pin_dbids = smd_pin_dbids =  list()

                foreach(pin_dbid pin_dbids

                if(pin_dbid->isThrough

               

                then

                throu_pin_dbids = cons(pin_dbid throu_pin_dbids)

                else

                smd_pin_dbids = cons(pin_dbid smd_pin_dbids)

                ); end for each pin type

     

    drilloutfile = outfile("drillchart.txt" "a")

     

    foreach(throu_pin_dbid throu_pin_dbids

                throu_pad_name = throu_pin_dbid->definition->name

                drill_size = throu_pin_dbid->definition->drillDiameter

                drill_type = throu_pin_dbid->definition->holeType

                plating = axlDBGetDrillPlating(throu_pad_name)

               

                drillFigureHeight = throu_pin_dbid->definition->drillFigureHeight

                drill_char = throu_pin_dbid->definition->drillChar

                drillFigureWidth = throu_pin_dbid->definition->drillFigureWidth

    drillFigureName = throu_pin_dbid->definition->drillFigureName

    fprintf(drilloutfile "%L,%L,%L,%L,%L,%L,%L,%L\n" throu_pad_name drill_size drill_type plating drillFigureHeight drill_char drillFigureWidth drillFigureName)

     

    ); end for each padstack information

     

     

    This throu_pin_dbid->definition->holeType  works for me to get the hole type.

     

    Good luck.

     

    Thanks,

    Nagaraj.


  • if(pin->isThrough && pin->definition->holeType == "circle_drill" then

  • Hi Dave

    Great that works fine, my other issue is accessing the Slot Length amd Width dimensions

    Using the Extracta command they are: DRILL_HOLE_NAME (major dim) & DRILL_HOLE_NAME2 (minor dim).

    Is it possible to pull this information as I am doing using the Drill Diameter in a similar way, see below?

    padstack->drillDiameter, this gives the drill hole diameter. If I use this command on a slot, the slot width is used.

    The command padstack->drillHoleName I presume accesses the DRILL_HOLE_NAME2 field for all types of hole.

    Can you assist further?

     Regards,
