Clear silkscreen from pins in Allegro Package

chads108

 Does anyone have some SKILL code that will clear silkscreen lines back x distance from pins, either as a group or individually?  I want to use this during footprint building.  Currently I have to use delete and cut to remove pieces of lines that run through pads.

    Thanks!

    Hi Dave,

    I got an example of your autosilk utils .il file but it doesnt appear to work on SPB16.6.

    I keep getting an error message

    Command> skill load "D:\Cadence\SPB_16.6\tools\SKILL33.00\context\autosilkUtils.il"
    E-
    E- load "D:\Cadence\SPB_16.6\tools\SKILL33.00\context\autosilkUtils.il"
    E-                                                                    ^
    E- PARSER WARNING at line 1 column 68 of file *string*
    W- *WARNING* (Parser): character found after backslash is not meaningful - D:\Cadence\SPB_16.6\tools\SKILL33.00\context\autosilkUtils.il

    This repeats a number of times but refuses to run. Do you have an updated version for SPB16.6?

    You need to use "/" in a path inside SKILL code. 

    So try: load "D:/Cadence/SPB_16.6/tools/SKILL33.00/context/autosilkUtils.il"
