Export Manufacturing Files

Nancie

Hi All !

 I'm a beginner in skill. Sorry for my English too! I'm not Bilingual :)

I want to create a skill for exporting the manufacturing files in 1 click.

Gerbers - Drill file - ROU file - Placement File.

First of all, I need to know how to acces to the menu in allegro.

I try to find something in skill for open the menu : Manufacture -- Artwork.

I found one that doesn't work well :   axlFormTest("artwork")

It open half of the originale form, and I can't click in it. 

I know it's only for test this one, but do a function exist for open ? axlFormOpen?

 

Best regards

  • Hi Nancie,

    No doubt many people try to do this and there are many Skill solutions out there.


    However, Have you looked at ODB++? This is an elegant solution that doesn't require Skill coding. It is rare to find a fabricator that won't accept ODB++ these days.

    If you continue down the Skill path I suggest you start with something more simple to learn with. At this point you won't need access to the  menus. You can write Skill that you can run from the command line and add it to the menu later. You will need to create your own Skill form. Look at some of the examples in ...\share\pcb\examples\skill\form

    Good luck,

    Dave
