Align tool UI

  • Silver John

    Yes, I was told. In the 15th version, menu does not work (error message) and no icons.

    By the way, on menu.
    axlUIMenuRegister() I don't like. It prints a useless message on the console:
    0 ==== ("move" nil (("&Align" "align"))).
    How suppress this message, or use another function for insertion new menu item?

    Hi

    I'm seeing the same message and would like to know how to get rid of it.

    Best regards

     Hi, All.

    Script was updated. Current revision 0.9.3.

    Due to recent revisions, to support the APE v15.x I had a few questions.
    I disabled the function axlGetFunckey for version less 16.3 and axlDBGridGet - less v15.7.
    1 axlDBGridGet a really appeared in version 15.7?
    2 What other functions are not lacking in v15.x (and which version they appeared)?

     Thanks.

    I just downloaded it into Orcad Layout V16.5 and already like what I see.

    I have yet to discover all that it can do but will save me time in the future.

    Have you been able to right any script to allow users to rotate parts while in the move command?

  • Silver John

    Script works in Layout!? o_O

    For rotation (in APE) you can use standart command "rotate".

    Only add hotkey to env-file (for you convenience):

    funckey r rotate
    funckey R rotate
