SKILL function to 'get' the DRC Marker Size set by user in 'Design Parameters' window

BinduSripad

Hello,

I am trying to capture the user-defined  'DRC Marker Size' in 'Design Parameter Editor' window. The Allegro SKILL manual indicates using axlDBDisplayControl to access the "drcMarkerSize" control. 

But axlDBDisplayControl ('drcMarkerSize) always returns nil.

I tried recording a macro to set the DRC marker size and here is the script:

prmed
setwindow form.prmedit
FORM prmedit drc_marker_size 50.00
FORM prmedit apply
FORM prmedit done

Seems like this is to 'set' the marker size. How do I 'get' this marker size and save it in a variable in SKILL?

Thanks for the help!

    Leave off the "r" use 'drcMakerSize. axlDBDisplayControl('drcMakerSize)

    Thanks a lot! This works. I would have never guessed the spelling error :) Hope this is being fixed.

    Look at the "share\pcb\examples\skill\DOC\FUNCS\axlDBDisplayControl.txt"

    I always check this directory (and others in the \skill\DOC\) when a function does not work as expected.
