How to get the thickness of StackUp

archive
archive over 19 years ago


I can get the Etch layer name by:
axlGetParam("paramLayerGroup:ETCH")->groupMembers
But how about the thickness and the material thickness, which set in Setup Advisor>Edit Cross-section. Is it attribute or parameter?
How can I get it by SKILL command?

    Hi Ole,

    You should be able to run the tech file batch commands from the low tier tool. Just register your export tech file command in your allegro.ilinit file. eg:

    axlCmdRegister("export tech" 'ExportTechFile)
    ExportTechFile.autoload = "ExportTechFile.il"

    Restart Allegro and type "export tech" on the command line.

    This is also the way you would run a Skill routine that used _fpDrawGetXSection, but I still wouldn't recommend using this command unless Cadence make it public. You would print the output of this command to a file using fprintf. The output is a list so the most simple printing method would be to use something like:

    pport = axlDMOpenFile("TEMP", "stackup.txt", "w")
    fprintf(pport, "%L", _fpDrawGetXSection())
    axlDMClose(pport)

    Cheers, Dave
