Updating pad names with SKILL

Hello all,

I'm a total novice at using skill skill scripting, but have a background in other languages (C++ mostly). At my company, we have a huge database of symbols, padstacks, etc. And would like to standardize all of them. The only reasonable way I can see to accomplish this is to figure out how to write a script that will update every drawing automatically.

The problem I'm trying to figure out is how to take the information in a padstack (the width, height, type, etc.) and rename the padstack using that information. So, for example, a 0.5 x 1.5 rectangular pad becomes 0p5x1p5r.pad

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks,

Mike

YOu will need to create new padstack called 0p5x1p5.pad then replace the old padstack with the new one. Look at axlDBCreatePadstack and axlReplacePadstack.
Update: take a look at this thread. http://www.cadence.com/Community/forums/p/16922/1179240.aspx#1179240
