Highligting symbols

vimaldevlpr

Hai,

I want to highlight the symbols compare between the two different  .brd files if any changes or missed  in two both board. I attached the code below in that report has been generated correctly but that i want to highlight that missed or changed symbols directly in the .brd file while running this code i tried  to use axlHighlightObject but it found error can you please guide me.

procedure(placement()
out=outfile("report1.rpt")
file1 = axlDMFileBrowse(nil t ?optFilters "All board files|*.brd|")
foreach(cmp, axlDBGetDesign() ->components
when(cmp ->symbol
a = cmp ->name
b = cmp ->symbol ->name
c = (xCoord cmp ->symbol ->xy)
d = (yCoord cmp ->symbol ->xy)
e = cmp ->symbol ->rotation
f = cmp ->symbol ->mirrorType
inList = a
inList1 = b
inList2 = c
inList3 = d
inList4 = e
inList5 = f
fprintf(out,"\n%L,%L,%L,%L,%L,%L", inList, inList1, inList2, inList3, inList4, inList5)
))
let((currentDesign file out)
currentDesign = axlGetDrawingName()
axlSaveDesign(?design axlCurrentDesign() ?noConfirm t)
file=axlDMFileBrowse(nil nil ?optFilters "BRD Files|*.brd|")
when(axlOpenDesignForBatch(file "wf")
if(out = outfile("report2.rpt")
then
foreach(cmp, axlDBGetDesign() ->components
when(cmp ->symbol
fprintf(out, "\n%L,%L,%L,%L,%L,%L", cmp->name, cmp ->symbol ->name, (xCoord cmp ->symbol ->xy), (yCoord cmp ->symbol ->xy), cmp ->symbol ->rotation, cmp ->symbol ->mirrorType)
)
)
close(out)
else
print("can not open file for writing")
)
)
axlOpenDesignForBatch(currentDesign "wf")
)
let((h, out2, out1, in1, in2, str, x, v, data)
out1 = axlDMOpenFile("COMMA_SEPARATED_VALUE", "REPORT.csv", "w")
fprintf(out1, "REFDES,CURRENT SYM NAME,CHANGED SYM NAME \n")
out2 = outfile("ref.lst")

in1 = infile("report1.rpt")
in2 = infile("report2.rpt")
data = makeTable("data")
while(gets(str, in1)
when(str
x = car(parseString(str ",\n"))
v = cadr(parseString(str ",\n"))
data[x] = v
)
)
close(in1)
while(gets(str, in2)
when(str
x = car(parseString(str ",\n"))
v = cadr(parseString(str ",\n"))
if(data[x]
then
if(data[x] == v
then
else
fprintf(out1,"\n%L, %s: %s - %s", x, "False", data[x], v)
h = sprintf(out2, "%L", x)
axlHighlightObject(h)
)
else
fprintf(out1,"\n%L, %s", x,"Unknown")
h = sprintf(out2, "%L", x)
axlHighlightObject(h)
)
)
)
close(in2)
axlDMClose(out1)
)
)




  • Hai all,

    I have another problem in that code while generating an report i  comes with the slash i don't want that can you please guide me how to remove.

    Here in this image \C45\"" i dont want that \ and "" the code were attached above can any one guide me please.

    The first issue is that you try to highlight an object by a string. This needs to be a dbid. 

    Further, you use %L to print a refdes to a string (which ends up in a file). This creates the " around the name, and to be able to print "  you need to escape it with \,  thus %L becomes a \"<string>\"  in the output. Since a refdes is already a string you can use simply %s. Same for the coordinates and other items. 

    I was rewriting it a bit. Didn't test the code, but perhaps you can use it:

    procedure(placement()
    let( (file1 out1 out2 in1 in2 currentDesign data x v dbid)
    file1 = axlDMFileBrowse(nil t ?optFilters "All board files|*.brd|")
    if(out1=outfile("report1.rpt")
    then
    foreach(cmp setof(comps axlDBGetDesign() ->components comps->symbol)
    fprintf(out1 "%s,%s,%.4f,%.4f,%.4f,%s\n" cmp->name cmp->symbol->name car(cmp->symbol->xy) cadr(cmp->symbol->xy) cmp->symbol->rotation if(cmp->symbol->mirrorType,"t","nil"))
    )
    close(out1)
    else
    axlMsgPut('("can not open file for writing" 3))
    )

    currentDesign = axlGetDrawingName()
    axlSaveDesign(?design axlCurrentDesign() ?noConfirm t)
    file=axlDMFileBrowse(nil nil ?optFilters "BRD Files|*.brd|")
    when(axlOpenDesignForBatch(file "wf")
    if(out1 = outfile("report2.rpt")
    then
    foreach(cmp setof(comps axlDBGetDesign() ->components comps->symbol)
    fprintf(out1 "%s,%s,%.4f,%.4f,%.4f,%s\n" cmp->name cmp->symbol->name car(cmp->symbol->xy) cadr(cmp->symbol->xy) cmp->symbol->rotation if(cmp->symbol->mirrorType,"t","nil"))
    )
    close(out1)
    else
    axlMsgPut('("can not open file for writing" 3))
    )
    )
    axlOpenDesignForBatch(currentDesign "wf")

    out1 = axlDMOpenFile("COMMA_SEPARATED_VALUE", "REPORT.csv", "w")
    out2 = outfile("ref.lst")
    in1 = infile("report1.rpt")
    in2 = infile("report2.rpt")
    when(and(out1 out2 in1 in2)
    fprintf(out1, "REFDES,CURRENT SYM NAME,CHANGED SYM NAME \n")
    data = makeTable("data")
    while(gets(str, in1)
    when(str
    x = car(parseString(str ",\n"))
    v = cadr(parseString(str ",\n"))
    data[x] = v
    )
    )
    close(in1)
    while(gets(str, in2)
    when(str
    x = car(parseString(str ",\n"))
    v = cadr(parseString(str ",\n"))
    if(data[x]
    then
    if(data[x] == v
    then
    t ;do nothing
    else
    fprintf(out1, "%s, %s: %s - %s\n", x, "False", data[x], v)
    fprintf(out2, "%s\n", x)
    when(dbid= axlDBFindByName('refdes x) axlHighlightObject(dbid))
    )
    else
    fprintf(out1,"%s, %s\n", x,"Unknown")
    fprintf(out2,"%s\n" , x)
    when(dbid= axlDBFindByName('refdes x) axlHighlightObject(dbid))
    )
    )
    )
    close(in2)
    close(out2)
    axlDMClose(out1)
    )
    )
    )
