Skill code to move component

archive

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a skill program that launches place manual -hide and then picks a specific coordinate to pick up the component placed in that coordinate.

I know that I have a pin placed in 0,0 and would like the skill program to pick that coordinate and leave the component on the mouse for me to place manually.

I've tried doing the following
axlShell("place manual -h")
axlShell("pick 0 0")

and I've also tried running a script that I've recorded that does the exact same, but both methods fail. They do launch the place manual command but I cannot get skill to pick that coordinate so that it is left for me to move the component

Does anyone have some good ideas, thanks.

Best regards,
Ole

  • Hi Ole,

    Without knowing exactly what you are trying to do it is difficult to offer help.
    However, I don't think many of us would try to do this type of function using Shell commands. I suggest that you look up the axlDynamicsObject and axlEnterEvent functions and base some code around those.

    I can give you some sample code if I know what you are trying to do, and why.

    Cheers, Dave
