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?

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

Create the allegro.ilinit file in your Skill path.

Add commands here something like this:

axlCmdRegister("MyCmdName" 'mySkillFunction)
mySkillFunction.autoload = "MySkillFile.il"

My file is highlight_tx_rx.il. Here I have defined a function highlight_signals().

I generated allegro.illinit file with following code

axlCmdRegister("MyCmdName" 'highlight_signals)
mySkillFunction.autoload = "highlight_tx_rx.il"

I copied this file in my skill path and then when I typed highlight_signals in command prompt it doesnt work.
