How to output all textblock used in board file

eric22

Hi All,

Is there any script available in order to make report for all the text blocks used in one design?

I want to standardize the text block for very design, before that I want to make some list what are the textblocks used and which class/subclass.

Thanks.

Eric

    l_symdef = axlDBGetDesign()->symdefs
    l_textblocks = nil
    foreach(symdef l_symdef
    l_child = symdef->children
    foreach(child l_child
    if(child->objType = "text" && child->textBlock then
    line = strcat(child->layer " " child->textBlock)
    unless(member( line l_textblocks)
    l_textblocks = cons(line l_textblocks)
    )
    )
    )
    )

    foreach(tb sort(l_textblocks 'axlStrcmpAlpNum)
    println(tb)
    )
