Hi All,

I am new to skill code and I am looking for a skill function to creating a Oblong route keep out for a selected object i.e Via or Pins?

Thanks in advance!

    Try this. The only thing is when the vias are not at 0 or 90 degrees. You need to calculate the angle and pass it to the axlTransformObject function.

    defun( createOvalRKO ()
    let( (w h r pth new_pth l_sel via1 via2 midXY )
    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '("noall" "vias") ?onButtons "vias")
    when(axlSingleSelectBox()
        l_sel = axlGetSelSet()
        if(length(l_sel)==2
        then
            via1 = car(l_sel)
            via2 = cadr(l_sel)
            midXY = axlMidPointLine(list(via1->xy via2->xy))
            h = axlDistance(via1->xy via2->xy)
            w =    atof(axlEnterString(?prompts list("Enter width of antipad:")))
            w = w/2.0
            h = h/2.0+w
            if(w>h
            then r= h, pth= axlMakeDynamicsPath( list( list( w-r:h -w+r:h)   list( -w+r:h -w+r:-h 0.0 -w+r:0.0 r) list( -w+r:-h w-r:-h) list( w-r:-h w-r:h 0.0 w-r:0.0 t)))
            else r= w, pth= axlMakeDynamicsPath( list( list( -w:h-r -w:-h+r) list( -w:-h+r w:-h+r 0.0 0.0:-h+r r) list( w:-h+r w:h-r)   list( w:h-r -w:h-r 0.0 0.0:h-r t)))
            )
            shp = car(axlDBCreateShape(pth t "ROUTE KEEPOUT/ALL" nil nil) )
            when(shp
                ;TODO: determine the angle between via1->xy and via2->xy. Use this value for axlTransformObject
                axlTransformObject(shp ?move midXY ?angle 0.0)
                axlMsgPut("Route Keepout created at %L" midXY)
            )
        else
            axlMsgPut("Too few or many elements selected. Please only select 2.")
        )
    )
    ))
