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?

    Hi, Dave,

    I have tried the routine you offered. It's useful to my problem. Thanks.

    And I found a problem about the routine:
    It runs successfully in PCB Design Expert , but there are some error in PCB design 220(PCB studio)

    When I click the [b]DRC list[/b] in [b]DRC Browse Form[/b], the function cann't zoom to the target and tell me an error information:

    E- *Error* setq/set: Variable is protected and cannot be assigned to - layerInfo

    Could you help to check it?

    Hi Leon, I don't see that behaviour in 16.0. It possibly arises because the layerInfo variable is protected by another Skill function that you use in your environment. What version of Cadence are you using? Cheers, Dave
