Export libraries of all DRA files in specific directory

aricbeaver

Hi,

I would like to use SKILL to iterate through every single DRA file in a directory and export the libraries, i.e. padstacks, shapes, etc. The reason is to verify library contents during each library commit.

Would this be the proper way to do this?

1. Get the DRA file paths using getDirFiles(<directory>)

2. Open DRA file

3. Use axlShell(<command>) to open export library form

axlShell("dlib")
axlShell("setwindow form.dlib")
axlShell("FORM dlib destination export")
axlShell("FORM dlib execute")

4. Repeat 2-3 for every other DRA file

Thx,

Aric

  • Hi Aric. It need to run from a board design. It may crash Allegro if the design extents are too small. Try making them huge. Otherwise, you may be finding dra problems causing Allegro to crash. The only suggestion I have for that is to print the name of each dra just before it processes so you know which symbol causes the crash.
