How to check the mistaken Reference Text location

Hi Leon,

Have you used the autosilkUtils.il code. It does that (and much more).

Cheers, Dave

Hi, Dave,

I havn't use the routine: autosilkUtils.il. Is it written by you or Candece original function?

Hi Leon,

I wrote it. Download it from the Allegro Skill Code area on sourcelink.
(Look for "Silkscreen violation checking" utility)

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave

i have been using your silkutils skill code for some time and would like to change some of the default setting to make it a bit quicker, could you tell me how to do the following ( if thats OK by you) turn off Reference Des Locations, Solder mask on vias and set the default value to 5 in the boxes
This is to help speed up the checking in Valor.

Cheers, Roger

Hi Roger, Edit the Skill file and change the following: To turn off Reference Designator Locations: In line 505 change the following line from: ASU_toggleField(form, "textloc", car(objectsExist)) to: ASU_toggleField(form, "textloc", nil) To uncheck Solder Mask Pads on Vias: In line 285 change the line: if(viaResist then when(ASU_checkVias, axlFormSetField(form, "vias", t)) else axlFormSetFieldEditable(form, "vias", 0)) axlFormSetField(form, "vias", nil), unless(viaResist, axlFormSetFieldEditable(form, "vias", 0)) To set the spacing defaults to 5 mils: search and replace on the following text that appears in three locations: axlMKSConvert(10, "mils") Change to axlMKSConvert(5, "mils") Note: These values are stored in the design - so if the utility has been run with 10 mils - that will still be the number that is in the booxes. Let me know if you have any problems. I can send you the modified code if you like. Cheers, Dave
