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!

    Hi fxffxf,

    Thank you for your input.  I will take a look at the document and try out the suggestions.

    Our intention is to use it on new design and also on an old designs that will need to impliment these spacing constraints on new revisions.  The spacing was suggested fairly recently so all of our previous design will need to be changed if it's possible to change it.

    It's still something I am just looking into and any input will be appreciated.
