autosilkUtils.il

Les Wong over 13 years ago

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

hi Dave,
I download your skill code and unzip it into my usual skill folder which is c:\skill and then load it inside allegro PCB editor which is load"c:/skill/autosilktUtils_public.il". Then exit skill intepreter. Type silkutils but always encounter wrong command. May I know what should i do? I also followed the steps you mentioned, also fail.

Hi Dave,
now i am using your skill to check is there any silkscreen outside of board file, but keep running on few boards also complaining all placed component silkscreen outside of board outline. I have no idea. I just use default setting. I thought from your help file, it states that it reports red DRC if silkscreen less than 5mil but somehow now, no component silkscreen outside board outline but it happened to report all DRCs.

This code expects to find a continuous board outline shape drawn with lines, or a shape. If multiple outlines exist it will choose the largest one. Check that you have a good outline on the BOARD GEOMETRY/OUTLINE layer.
