Help! Documents for beginner.

halinh12sinh


Hello everyone,

I am a beginner with allegro skill.
I'm trying to read a piece of skill program as follows:
================
WIDTH_ScriptText = strcat(
"setwindow pcb ;"
"setwindow form.mini ;"
"FORM mini line_width " WIDTH_Number " ;"
"setwindow pcb ;"
)
================
WIDTH_Select = car(axlGetSelSet())
WIDTH_PadSelect = WIDTH_Select->pads
================
I having some issues:
+I can not find any information about the command" setwindow" in the document "Allegro User Guide: SKILL Reference"
and "SKILL Language User Guide"
+properties of the object in the allegro.(example:WIDTH_PadSelect = WIDTH_Select->pads)

Can you show the documents containing this information?Please!

Thanks and best regards,

Ken Le

  • Hello  Linh Le,

    I am using notepad ++ for writing the SKILL style. You can define your own style. For debugging, I use the skill command line in Allegro and place useful variable inside the code to see what is going on in case of troubles.

    as for the properties there are a few ways to find them out.

    1. The "Allegro PCB Editor Database User Model" chapter in "Allegro User Guide: SKILL Reference" pdf document

    2. in skill command line by using my_id->? or my_id->??

    I usually use this code to interrogate different items (symbols in this example):

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled `("NOALL" "SYMBOLS") ?onButtons `("SYMBOLS"))

    axlSingleSelectPoint()

    x = car(axlGetSelSet())

    and then type:

    x->xy

    x->?

    x->??

    etc.
