axlAirGap pin soldermask to via etch measure

Ejlersen

Hi

I've been working with the axlAirGap function to find the airgap between a pins soldermask and a vias etch.

However the different options either give me

soldermask to soldermask or etch to etch 

Amongst others things I've tried 

axlAirGap(oid did "PIN/SOLDERMASK_TOP" 'enhanced)
axlAirGap(oid did "PIN/SOLDERMASK_TOP" 'anyLayer)

where oid is the pin dbid and did is the via dbid

Anyone have a solution to this or how it can be done?

Currently the only way I can see around this problem is to create a duplicate of the via form on another layer and measure the airgap there. I'm well aware that soldermask to pad and cline does this check - but I need it for another purpose.

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Ole

    Hi Dave

     

    Thank you for this, seems like a no brainer for me to work get your code to work for the remaining tasks in my new utility.

    I'm hoping this will sort my last issues before final test and release :-) 

    Best regards
