    If you meant the drill or similar info then you need to use padstack attributes and its like below

    drillsize = padstack_dbid->drillDiameter

    Dear Pawan, Good day, Pin dont have "drillDiameter" when I am using the Dbid of the Pin. I derive the dbid of the pin by using ( car(netname->branches)->children->objType == "pin") Any other way to get it?...

    Hi

    You can use the select functions

    axlClearSelSet()
    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall" "pins" "vias") ?onButtons list("noall" "pins" "vias"))
    axlAddSelectAll()
    pinlist = axlGetSelSet()
    axlClearSelSet()
    foreach(pinid

       pinlist printf("Padstack %s with drillsize %L\n" pinid->definition->name pinid->definition->drillDiameter)

    ) 

     

     

    Best regards

    Ole
