autosilkUtils.il

 Hi All:

Hopefully Dave Elder reads this ?

I am running Allegro 16.5  S018 and tried to run the autosilkUtils.il SKILL script.

Everything seems to work except it does not put the DRCs into the walker popup window.

Hopefully someone can fix this ?

This is a great tool

Thanks,

Les

    Dave,

    No text on Board geometry outline.

    I used the axlSetFindFilter and enabled all and used only board geometry/outline.

    By addSelectAll() verified, only dbid returned and that’s for shapes.

    I have only shapes on board geometry/outline layer which is included in silk artwork causing error.

    Thanks,

    Nagaraj.

    Hi Dave,

    I saw this post and I tried using your skill.  It seems that I can get the file to load, but can't get it to run.  Am I missing a step somewhere?  I've attached the image of the command line.  I can run other skill files just fine also.

     I am on 16.3

    Please advise at your convenience. 

    I like to add that version 8.24  I found on an older post is working.

    Read the instructions in the header of the file. You will need to do more than just loading the file.
