How to set up to use SKILL?

tmd63

I have some skill file examples but I cannot access them. These are the examples in toolbox.

But we have a different environment setup so I dont think the toolbox is step up to run.

If I try and type 'tbx changewidth' for example. I get an error message 'E - Command not found'. These are the examples found in share\pcb\toolbox\ but the path to start does not appear to be set.

Where is the path for using SKILL commands found?

  • Thanks Jerry,

    I tried your hello world skill and it works.

    I then tried a sample skill called colorForm but I get an error.

    E- *Error* axlFormBuildPopup: argument #1 should be any user-defined (other) type (type template = "otl") - nil
    ERROR.

    This is a simple colorTest.il and colorTest.form that was installed when I installed Cadence.

    Any ideas?

    code

    ; demostration for useing color switches in a form popup

    unless(boundp('ct) ct = nil)

    defun( colorTest ()
        let( (form colorList colorString color)

        form = axlFormCreate('ct "colorTest" nil 'colorTestDispatch t)
        ct = form
        
        for(i 1 axlColorGet('count)
            color = axlColorGet(i);
            colorString = sprintf(nil "i=%L, r=%L, g=%L, b=%L" i car(color) cadr(color) caddr(color))
            colorList = cons(list(colorString i i) colorList)
        );
        colorList = reverse(colorList);
        axlFormBuildPopup(form "COLOR_LIST" colorList);
        axlFormDisplay(form);
    ))

    defun( colorTestDispatch (fw)
        printf("field/value %L = %L (int %L\n)"
        fw->curField fw->curValue, fw->curValueInt )
        if((nequal fw->doneState 0) axlFormClose(fw))
        nil
    )

    /code
