Export DXF.

hi what was your actual concern do you want to take all the layer in dxf at once

Hai gowtham thanks for your reply it actually takes much time for taking again and again if it once means very easy  thats why if it possible can you please say how to do.

Hi Sivaji,

Actually that is a full code add function thats enougth to execute DXF file ok i too attach the code below.

DXF.il

 procedure( DXF()
 l_cnvFiles = nil
    designName = axlCurrentDesign()
    foreach(filmName axlGetParam("artwork")->groupMembers
        f = strcat("DXF_" filmName)
        p = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_CNV" f "w")
        fprintf(p "#This is the Layer Conversion File used for\n")
        fprintf(p "#importing DXF data into Allegro/APD.\n\n")
        fprintf(p "#CLASS!SUBCLASS!DXF_LAYER!\n\n")
        foreach(layer axlGetParam(strcat("artwork:" filmName))->groupMembers
            layerStr = parseString(layer "/")
            fprintf(p "%s!\n%s!%s!\n\n" car(layerStr) cadr(layerStr) strcat(car(layerStr) "_" cadr(layerStr)))
        )
        fprintf(p "#END\n")
        push(get_filename(p) l_cnvFiles)
        axlDMClose(p)
        sprintf(cmd "a2dxf -$ -u MM -a 3 -f 12 -c L \"%s.cnv\" \"%s/%s_%s.dxf\" %%s" f getWorkingDir() designName filmName)
        axlRunBatchDBProgram("Creating DXF File" cmd ?warnProgram t ?noExitMsgs t)
    )
    errset(mapcar('deleteFile l_cnvFiles) t)
)
axlCmdRegister("DXF" 'DXF)

To execute this file:

Place the .il file in .brd file location.

Then in allegro tool use command mentioned below.

1. In CIW Command

2. load("DXF.il")

3. DXF()

Thank you Vimal.

Can anyone please help me with the conversion file to export dxf in one go. As I am new to cadence and have no knowledge of this. Please help me with above and guide me. thankyou.

the  text shown below is an Allegro script that will output all layer to a dxf file

In allegro enter the command: replay dxf_out_all.scr

David Thank you for the script. But this script exports all layers in one dxf file. But every layer to be exported separately in one go. Could you please help me with the script.

David Thank you for the script. But this script exports all layers in one dxf file. But every layer to be exported separately in one go. Could you please help me with the script.

The 'DXF.il' code posted by vimaldevlpr 5 years ago should do what you want...

could you please help a code for import all DXF file into another board a quickly?

thanks

Please help me how to save that .il file and execute the code. Please please…….

Save the following skill code into the file 'DXF.il'

procedure( DXF()

  let((l_cnvFiles DesignName f p LayerStr cmd)

    l_cnvFiles = nil
    designName = axlCurrentDesign()
    foreach(filmName axlGetParam("artwork")->groupMembers
        f = strcat("DXF_" filmName)
        p = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_CNV" f "w")
        fprintf(p "#This is the Layer Conversion File used for\n")
        fprintf(p "#importing DXF data into Allegro/APD.\n\n")
        fprintf(p "#CLASS!SUBCLASS!DXF_LAYER!\n\n")
        foreach(layer axlGetParam(strcat("artwork:" filmName))->groupMembers
            layerStr = parseString(layer "/")
            fprintf(p "%s!\n%s!%s!\n\n" car(layerStr) cadr(layerStr) strcat(car(layerStr) "_" cadr(layerStr)))
        )
        fprintf(p "#END\n")
        push(get_filename(p) l_cnvFiles)
        axlDMClose(p)
        sprintf(cmd "a2dxf -$ -u MM -a 3 -f 12 -c L \"%s.cnv\" \"%s/%s_%s.dxf\" %%s" f getWorkingDir() designName filmName)
        axlRunBatchDBProgram("Creating DXF File" cmd ?warnProgram t ?noExitMsgs t)
    )
    errset(mapcar('deleteFile l_cnvFiles) t)

 )
)
axlCmdRegister("DXF" 'DXF)

then in Allegro at the 'command>' prompt enter the following:

skill load 'DXF.il'

DXF

Opps, change the the registered command name from 'DXF' to 'ART_DXF' as it breaks the original 'dxf in' and 'dxf out' commands
