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.

    Hello Dave,

     At present the CDS_ROOT maps to D:\adw\local_tools\spb_162 

      

    Thanks & Regards,

    CDSROOT should point to your Cadence installation (c:\cadence\spb_16.5)

    ALLEGRO_SITE should point to your site setup folder: eg. X:\CadenceSetup\pcb

    A Skill folder should exist below this. eg.  X:\CadenceSetup\pcb\Skill

    Place your Skill files (including  allegro.ilinit and context files) in there 

    In Skill (or allegro.ilinit):

    loadContext("EDAVE_clearPinSilk.cxt")

    axlCmdRegister("clear pin silk" 'EDAVE_clearPinSilk ?cmdType "interactive")

    Type  clear pin silk on the command line to execute the code.

     Regards,

    Dave

    Type these three lines (one at a time) into your Allegro console window: 

    skill loadContext("EDAVE_clearPinSilk.cxt")

    skill axlCmdRegister("clear pin silk" 'EDAVE_clearPinSilk ?cmdType "interactive")

    clear pin silk
