Modify dynamic shape parameters using SKILL

migrg

Hi, I'm trying to modify the shape parameters (thermal relief, void controls, etc.) using SKILL. I can access the object but I don't see any properties or parameters to modify (prop is nil). Any ideas of where those properties hide in the database? Here is what I can see in the SKILL command line, id is the dbid of the shape

id~>??
(prop nil priority -7 dynamicGroup
dbid:0x2aee03f17098 taper nil shapeAuto
(dbid:0x2aee0ca2f500 dbid:0x2aee0ca2f470 dbid:0x2aee0ca2f3e0 dbid:0x2aee0ca2f350 dbid:0x2aee0ca2f2c0
dbid:0x2aee0ca2f230
)
region nil bBox

  • It's in s027. I'm not sure when it was added.
    Try
    p = axlGetParam("shapeDynamic")
    p ->??

    example:
    p ->artwork = "Gerber RS274X"
    axlSetParam(p)

    I know this is an old thread, but can changing the shape parameters be done on a single shape?  axlGetParam("shapeDynamic") works great at the global level, but I need to check and set these parameters for individual shapes. Specifically I am trying to get and/or set the minAperture parameter for all shapes on a specific layer.  axlGetParam works on all shapes and it does NOT change a shape that has an override value, which is what I am trying to change. Thank you.

    Let me add on to this as it becomes active.  I cannot find the switch for "Automatically delete isolated shapes" or "Automatically delete antenna shapes" with axlGetParam("shapeDynamic")->??.  It does not record as a preference in the env file.  How do I check/set these directives?  Thanks
