parameter settings in Artwork Control form - Cadence Allegro

archive

Hello experts,

Anybody knows how the function axlfcreate() which takes the list of 13 numbers works?
I want to control the 'offset x' and 'offset y' but I notice that numbers are based on design units. I couldn't find too much details on this function over cdsdoc.

Any help?

Saad.

  • Hi Mike,

    Thanks a lot for the details. Do you know what is the relation of units and accuracy settings with field 2,3 & 4?

    for mm board I have to multiply field 4 with following decimals:
    accuracy 1 => field2 x 10 , field3 x 10
    accuracy 2 => field2 x 100 , field3 x 100 and field4 x 10
    accuracy 3 => field2 x 1000 , field3 x 1000 and field4 x 100
    accuracy 4 => field2 x 10000 , field3 x 10000 and field4 x 1000

    and for mils I receive fixnum errors (when i convert mm to mils) and seems like values are only taken in mm.
    What I see here is that there is no chance to setup the parameter option specially for field 2 and 3 in mils because the resultant field values exceed the field limits.

    Thanks,
    Saad.
