Does allegro free physical viewer support skill?

stillfish over 14 years ago

Hi all,

I wonder if allegro free viewer support skill language.

If it does support, is there there any difference or risk ?

I meant if any axl function would be locked or something?

No the free viewer doesn't support Skill. The licensed Physical Viewer does support Skill.

Hi Dave,
When I test under physical viewer , it cannot open a new skill window by select "telskill" in Setup -> User Preference.
And also I cannot type "skill" in allegro command window to enter "Skill>" from "Command>", it will shows "E- Command not found: skill."
I think it is really really not frendly for skill developer in physical viewer.
But, when i have loaded my skill file in "allegro.ilinit", I still can call these functions under "Command>" of physical viewer if my functions were registered to command by axlCmdRegister().
It confused me if i could release my skill function to people who have only Allegro Physical Viewer (licensed).

Hi, You are correct. There is no interactive Skill available in the physical viewer but it will work via the command window. You can also edit the menus and add your own custom menu commands there. There should be no problems distributing Skill to Viewer users. Just use the allegro.ilinit file and custom menus. Regards, Dave
