Hi All,

Can somone explain to me how can I run my SKILL function on Allegro PCB

On tool start up. Calling the function from allegro.ilinit can't be performed.

 

Thank You in advance,

Kadar

    This is an example of what your ilinit file should contain:

    axlCmdRegister("tidy folder" 'tidyFolder ?cmdType "general")

    tidyFolder.autoload = "tidyFolder.il" 

    To run this routine I need to type tidy folder in the console window.

    If you want a routine to run every time you start Allegro you should look at the axlTriggerSet command. This is a command that I have in our ilinit file:

    axlTriggerSet('open 'tait_OpenAllegroTrigger)

    tait_OpenAllegroTrigger is a Skill function.
