How to check the mistaken Reference Text location

archive
archive over 19 years ago

How to check the mistaken Reference Text location during arranging the silkscreen?
For example, the component R1 is close to R2, but the Text: R1 and Text: R2 have been exchanged their location. But Allegro can't check them out.
How deal with this situation by SKILL or other solution?

    Dave thank for the reply. I have managed to sort out the spacing defults and the ref des check box but when I did the other bit I lost both the of the lower check boxes. I only wanted to tund off Check to solder mask pads on vias and not Check to solder mask shapes, this is a must as we have had to change the Valor efr files to remove the silkscreen errors on the vias and when this happens we don't get the check on other solder mask shapes.

    Cheers, Roger

    Hi Roger, Try the attached code. Obviously it needs to be renamed to autosilkUtils.il. Cheers, Dave

    Hi, That message indicates that the main form was not created successfully. A possible reason is that your form path is not set as expected. Check that "." is the first entry. (User Preferences/Ui_paths/formpath) Let me know if this helps CHeers, Dave
