Problems with SKILL in Allegro 17.2

WickedWonder

I a noob here, but it seems that some of the skill routines I've used in the past don't seem to be working in Allegro 17.2. Is anyone else seeing this behavior and if so is there a work around? Could it be that some of the axl calls no longer work?

Thanks!

    I have many Skill utilities and have seen few problems with 17.2. The axlMenu commands are a somewhat show-stopping issue for my company that I hope to have Cadence support fix soon but otherwise all is good. Can you share an example where code no longer works?

    If your Skill utilities are contained within a Skill context, they will need to be rebuilt in 17.2 to be compatible with the 64 Cadence binaries.

    Hi Dave, one of the routines I like is one you submitted "change_net_on_vias.il", are you having any problems with it?

    I can't yet recompile the code in 17.2 so cxt skill code won't work. I'm waiting for a hotfix for this.
