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.

    Let me know if you still have a problem.

    Hi Dave,
    I'd like to thank you for all the code you've submitted over the years.
    I'm having an issue with the CleatPinSilk routine.
    You say if you enter "nil" for any of the values it prompts the user, I get this error when I try the nil value
    Command > clear pin silk 0.3 nil
    E- *Error* greaterp: can't handle (10.5 > nil)

    Thanks
    Paul

    Hi Paul. Thanks for the endorsement.
    Nil is not an valid value for the fields. Try 0.0.
    I guess I could modify the code to more elegantly warn of incorrect entries if it's a continual problem for anyone?

    Hi Dave,
    Thanks for the clarification. Don't change anything for me, I was reading pervious comments and wondered why it wasn't working.

    Thanks
    Paul

    Dave,

    Have you been able to compile a version for 17.2?

    Thanks
