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.

    You need to put the file in a 64bit folder in your Skill path. So if your site points to c:\mycadence\pcb your cxt file needs to be in c:\mycadence\pcb\64bit

    You MUST place it in a 64bit folder. (C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\share\local\pcb\skill \64bit)
