Wire keepout over via skill program

Hi Stella,

Nice to hear from you.

This is not a difficult task - try using the axlPolyFromDB command.

eg. poly = car(axlPolyFromDB(via_dbid ?layer "ETCH/TOP" ?padType "REGULAR"))

You can then create a keepout shape on the appropriate layer using axlDBCreateShape:

axlDBCreateShape(poly, t, layer)

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave,

Nice to hear from you and glad that you are moderating this forum.  Guess I have a lot to learn from you.

I left out a some detail.  I am looking for slightly more ie the wire keepout to be created will exclude any cline connect to the via.    In the attached.  Thanks for the code, it is a good starting point.


Regards,
Stella

Hi Stella,

Have a look at the attached code. I hope it helps.
It makes use of the axlPoly commands which are great for doing this type of task.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the great help.  I did a little customisation and now I am using it for my design. 

Have a nice weekend.

Dave,

Stella is working at the board level, in particular, the vias on the board level.

Can you give me your reasoning for putting the new "WIRE_KEEPOUT" subclass within the "PACKAGE GEOMETRY" class?

thanks,
