skill code for design Sheet Size need help

Junior0304
Junior0304 over 10 years ago

Hi guys,

I am writing a skill code that will check Design parameters that include User Units, Accuracy and Size.

I was able to get the units and the accuracy using axlGetParam("paramDesign"), but no luck on the sheet size.

Can somebody please help help.

my  code is something like this

d = axlGetParam("paramDesign");
if(nequal(d->units "millimeters") then
       axlUIConfirm("Design unit defined is non-standard, change to millimeter and try again.")

else

)

if(equal(d->accuracy 4) then
...
else
...
);if

    Well,

    This is the SOP our library team inherited, and we do not want to change anything unless needed, for any change will impact the whole symbols library.

    Added question if i may..

    the same skill program need to check the Dimensioning Parameters as well,

    that includes all the tabs(General, Text, Lines, etc), and the settings were already defined,

    so anything that was not same as the default should be caught by the SKILL code.

    any suggestion how to accomplish such, thanks..
