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

    See the attached code.

    There are now two commands for running it: moveByRefdes and moveByRefdes_OneShot

    The first option will loop until you right click done (or cancel)

    I really like the modification to the first option. Its a more typical scenario when I place parts :)

    (note  I map 'R' key to standard move so I tweak your code to thus the slower response ).  Your changes are greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi Dave,

    Somehow I did not get the menu on RMB. When I modified your code slightly as below then only got this working. I am using 16.5 version.

                                                    axlUIPopupDefine(nil

                                                    list(

                                                                    (list "Done" 'axlFinishEnterFun)

                                                                    (list "Cancel" 'axlCancelEnterFun)

                                                                    (list "MENU_SEPARATOR" 'nil)

                                                                    (list "Mirror" 'moveByRefdes_mirror)

                                                                    (list "Rotate" 'moveByRefdes_rotate)

                                                    ))

     
    Regards,

    Pawan

    Hello Dave, Is it possible to get a code that once you place the first part you can enter a second refdes and that keeps repeating and once I'm done placing all the part use the right click done to stop it? Thanks again!
