dbid:removed

aeris over 13 years ago

Hi,

anyone encountered a scenario similar to this

-- you cant debug because the dbid were instantly removed the moment you assign them to a variable

function/procedure as simple as this :

(defun MyTest ()

axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noALL" "pins" "vias" "shapes") ?onButtons list("noALL" "shapes"))

axlAddSelectAll()

retDbid=axlGetSelSet()
axlMsgPut("%L" retDbid)

)

I normally get dbids when I put retDbid in the skill command prompt, until lately im having this problem. The axlMsgPut shows all the dbid's value, but in my skill command prompt i have all the dbids removed
Running the program as a whole have no error, its just that I cant debug dbid values

I have tried the following

1. Use same code to other PC -- normal as expected

2. Re-install allegro within the same pc with error -- still have error

Thanks

You don’t need to reinstall applications as you are observing this on certain program only.

Try the hit and trial method

1.       Try it on a different design on the same pc

2.       Try changing the variable name

3.       See if your program works for some other filtered list like pins/vias.

thanks Pawan, but already tried those, I'm hoping that someone would tell me that i accidentally turned some functions on/off in allegro setup reference
whats really bugging me is that, same code can be debugged in other pc
edit:
any object that im trying to gets its dbid are always removed, and this is for all my functions/procedures

Hmm…. Try to remove all the skill files(*.il) from your directories first before invoking Allegro. May be you are having old skill file that is invoked from somewhere from your skill path

yup i have tried that, and have used axlMsg commands as well as axlUIConfirm to check the data of dbids -- these commands yields correct value, but those dbids are remove the moment i checked in skill command prompt

I've tried running your code and gives me the same result as what you are experiencing so I wonder if this is just a normal condition when running it as a whole.

But if you tried running your code line by line will let you analyse each dbid in retDbid
