Changing the artwork output dir

Adamsen

I want to write artworks to a design dependent output directory.

I have a script to create artworks,  

olddir = "output"
outdir = "output/123456-ND-A"
axlSetVariable("ads_sdart" outdir)  ; set working directory to output directory
 sprintf(script
 "scriptmode +i +n +w +c\n
 setwindow pcb\n
 artwork\n
 setwindow form.film_control\n
 FORM film_control select_all\n

 FORM film_control database_check YES\n
 FORM film_control create\n
 setwindow form.film_control\n
 FORM film_control ok\n
 setwindow pcb\n ")  ;end sprintf
 
 COD_replay_script(script)

 axlSetVariable("ads_sdart" olddir)  ;  

If I set "ads_sdart" using setup user preferences, it works fine. If I use this script, the artworks is generated in "output" and art_param.txt is generated in "output/123456-ND-A". That does not make any sense to me. Any surgestions?

Alternatively I could move the files afterwards, but that requires much more unessesary coding.

  • Hi Adam,

    I am assuming that there exists a directory named “output\123456-ND-A” where your brd file is saved and you want to save all the files to “123456-ND-A”

    I don’t know how are u calling the COD_replay_script(script) function in your code and you haven’t provided your complete code.

    Try running the below SKILL code. It should save all the files in the “output\123456-ND-A” directory.

     
    defun( pawan ()

    olddir = "output"

    outdir = "output/123456-ND-A"

    axlSetVariable("ads_sdart" outdir)

    axlShell("setwindow pcb")

    axlShell("trapsize 3215")

    axlShell("generaledit")

    axlShell("artwork")

    axlShell("setwindow form.film_control")

    axlShell("FORM film_control select_all")

    axlShell("FORM film_control create")

    axlShell("setwindow form.film_control")

    axlShell("FORM film_control ok")

    axlShell("setwindow pcb")

    axlShell("generaledit")

    axlSetVariable("ads_sdart" olddir)  ;

    )
