                   Min Line width

    Hi,

    The best way I know of is to export a tech file. In pre-16.0 versions you can then read the tech file back in and obtain the contraints. Note that this will not work in 16.0 because tech files are recorded in XML format. A couple of us are working on a solution.

    axlRunBatchDBProgram("techfile" sprintf(nil, "techfile -$ -w %%s %s", techFile))
    p = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_TECHNOLOGY_FILE", techFile, "r")
    techFileData = cddr(read(p))
    axlDMClose(p)

    Cheers, Dave
