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

    From within Allegro, enter the command 'shell' to launch a 'command line' window in your design folder

    from that window enter the command 'Notepad' to start text editor, paste the section of code into it & save it as 'tb.ils'

    Now back in Allegro enter the 2 commands in bold from my last posting

    Hi David,

    Thanks so much for your time in helping me out.

    I tried your inputs and I got some error.

    Can you please spare some time what I need to do in the code to avoid this error?

    Command > skill '(load "tb.ils")'
    E-
    E- (00:00:21) skill '(load "tb.ils")'
    E-                                  ^
    E- SYNTAX ERROR found at line 1 column 34 of file tb.ils
    W- *WARNING* (reader): suspicious newline found after the operator '
    E- *Error* lineread/read: syntax error encountered in input
    E- *Error* load: error while loading file - "tb.ils" at line 1
    ERROR
    Command > skill '(load "tb.ils")'
