Changing spacing constraints when opening Allegro

Mstrghettorigg

Hi All,

 I was wondering if anyone can guide me in the right direction.

I'm trying to make it so I can set the bottom SMD pin to TH distance when allegro starts up.  This will need to be done to all files being opened.

I'm not familiar with writing skills, but I was wondering if anyone has ran into similar Skill file or at least guide me in the right direction.

I looked through some forum and it looks like I can use axlCmdRegister and axlTriggerSet commands to run the skill automatically once I have the skill file create.

I think this command is where I need to get started from, but I don't think it's that simple. 

axlCNSSetSpacing("" TOP 'Thru Pin_SMD Pin .050 INCH) 

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
