XSECTION

Hi guys,

Can someone think of a solution how:

- from a custom SKILL form window open XSECTION - axlShell( "section")

- then block the custom SKILL form window from inputs - xsection is blocking command for PCB Editor, however if the SKILL code is not registered through axlCmdRegister(...) it wont be blocked

- detect that xsection is open

- detect that xsecition is closed

What I'm trying to do is - in my custom SKILL form the user can see what is the current xsection thickness, he/she can click on a button that will run xsection and when the xsection window has been closed the value in the custom form is automatically updated. I have an issue with the bold part...

Thanks,

Miro

    axlXSectionGet("PRIMARY" 'thickness) returns the stack thickness.

    Hi B Brukers,

    Thanks.

    Yes, I know this command, it works well. However, the issue for me is to detect that the cross-section was changed by the user meanwhile my SKILL code was running - in other words, I need to know when is the "right" time to call the axlXSectionGet("PRIMARY" 'thickness)... Any idea how to achieve this (except manual or periodical refresh)?

    Thanks!
