parameter settings in Artwork Control form - Cadence Allegro

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.

    As far as fields 2, 3 and 4 are units and accuracy are driven by the database it is loaded into.

    Here is an example of the defined fields with the database units set to mils at 3 place accuracy:

    Field 2 = -1000000
    Field 3 = -1000000
    Field 4 = 8000

    The results of the fields above would be:
    Field 2 = -1000.000 mils
    Field 3 = -1000.000 mils
    Field 4 = 8.000 mils

    Basically, all you would need to do is drop the decimal point from the resulting values and define the fields in axlfcreate.

    Here is an example of the defined fields with the database units set to MM at 3 place accuracy:

    Field 2 = -25400
    Field 3 = -25400
    Field 4 = 203

    The results of the fields above would be:
    Field 2 = -25.400 mils
    Field 3 = -25.400 mils
    Field 4 = 0.203 mils

    Basically, all you would need to do is drop the decimal point and the leading zero from the resulting values and define the fields in axlfcreate.
