Copy, edit, then save padstack

mikebystedt

Newbie question, 

Old timer in SKILL (IC), new to Allegro axl functionality.

 I simply want to grab an existing padStack and copy it.  Change the flash name for a specific pad on a specific layer (thermal), and save it to the new padId.  Then save it to the design.It seems to be readOnly, so I'm not able to modify any of the properties.  Any suggestions?

* I used axlCopyPadStack(), and grabbed the dbId for it, then tried to modify it to no avail.

padId = axlDBGetPad(padStack pad->layer "THERMAL")
padId->flash = flashName

Can't seem to modify it.  Also wish to pick a pin and change/swap the padstack for it.  Not sure if I will run into similar issues.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Mike.

    Looks like axlPadstackEdit only allows me to modify properties for the padstack.  I actually need to change the "flash" name of a specific thermal pad.  I have the id for the pad, but I can't modify the readOnly status to change it.

     Thanks eDave,  One of my new co-workers said you were the man to talk to if possible.  I guess you are slightly famous.

     Any other ideas?  Maybe I'm just too new and missing something here.

     Thanks, -Mike
