change the line font of a rectangle?

jwhend

 Hi all,

I am trying to create a rectangle, using axlDBCreateRetangle, but there does not seem to be an option for line font. I want to use PHANTOM. Is there a way to change the line font in skill? I know I can change a "line" with axlChangeLineFont, but a rectangle is considered a shape in allegro.

Anyone have a work around for this?

Thanks,

Jerry

 

  • Hi

    How about using axlDBCreateLine to draw a rectangle and get the linefont?

    That should not take up too much code work :-)

  •  Hi Ole,

    I already thought about that, but this is used in a program that automatically creates a fab drawing and I wanted to stick with a rectangle.

    I would need to ask a commitee if there would be an issue with moving to a line, pretty sure there is not. Anyway, I will probable go with a line.

    Cadence has addressed the issue:

    " Regarding Case 45639321, "Setting line font before using axlDBCreateRectangle?." I hope the axlDBCreatePath() function should have helped you in setting the line font. But this is a longer way to create rectangle and so I have filed Cadence Change Request (CCR) number 1317539 on your behalf. The CCR is Enhancement for axlDBCreateRectangle() and asked R&D to add two formal arguments for Line Font and Line Width."

    Thanks,

    Jerry

  • Hi Jerry

     

    Exciting to see what happens with the CCR, currently the line of a closed shape, even if unfilled, is zero as you may already know.

    No matter how you try to trick it I cannot see a way to get another line font without involving real lines as it is today. 

    Best regards
