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.

  • This isn't looking very promising.  Do I have to write a procedure to read out all of the details of an existing padStack and modify the flash names for the pad/layer before adding it using axlDBCreatePadStack()?  I was really hoping for a quick copy, then a simple change to the flash name for the new padStack.

    Is this possible?  Or do I have to do it the hard way?

    Thanks,

     -Mike
