How to get a report showing padstack (and shapes used in it) library path ?

jc teyssier
jc teyssier over 1 year ago

Hello group,

in my company the padpath and psmpath can be customized for each project: doing this allow to have different copper annular ring and soldermask opening depending on project seting

For verifications purpose, i need to get a report showing:

- From where padstacks was taken on disk (show element on a pin ou via show ,the related library path, as per symbols but it is not really a report).

- From where the shapes used in padstack was taken on disk.

Someone have idea about to get this?

    Hello  jc teyssier , You can have a look at Padstack Usage Report which can give you library path for each pad file

    Hello,

    i do not need the name (well, i also need in order to find the path) but the path from where where find the .ssm file, here LTUMODULEPIN1SM.ssm

    In my library several definition exist for same shape name ; the path to use the right shape is project dependant (example: distance from soldermask to copper). I need to get this path for quality control purpose.

    Hello Steeve,

    sorry for undig this tread.

    my skill langage programming level is pretty low.

    Do you think this skill cna be enhanced to extract also module's source path?

    Embended allegro "module report" does not show it.

    It shows only Module instanec, module definito, x and y coordonate and angle. I wish to het source path

    Sorry but I'm unaware of the skill required for the module report. Hopefully someone else may be able to modify the orignal skill that is included in this post earlier to give you what you need,
