converting a text to a shape

Not directly.

I will use Manufacture->Drafting->Create Detail

This create lines

Then this to obtain a shape:

community.cadence.com/.../ceonverting-a-cline-to-a-shape

The documentation for the axlText2Lines function has the following example code ( which I slightly modified )

text = ashOne("TEXT")
lines = axlText2Lines(text)
layer = text->layer

; flatten list
flattened = foreach( mapcan x lines x)
foreach(path flattened
   ; may return multiple polys
   polys = axlPolyFromDB(path ?endCapType 'ROUND ?line2poly t)
   ; create shapes in database
   foreach(poly polys

     i = axlDBCreateShape(poly t layer nil nil)

  )
)

thank u, david as always.

i get this error message

copy <installdir>//share/pcb/examples/skill/ash-fxf/ashone.il locally & then load it into Allegro or APD
