Replace pin?

Hi,

Does anyone have a skill file that will replace pins within a design?
I need to randomly swap padstacks on multiple connectors that have the same footprint.
I'd like to be able to select the pins using temp group and then change them all at the same time.

'replace pin' from "replace_via.il" only replacespins within a .dra.

Any help much appreciated,
M

Hi,

Can you use the Tools/Padstack/Replace function?

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave, The padstack replace works fine, but I've a few hundred pins that need replaced on many connectors. No two connectors have the same pins replaced. I was just looking for a skill routine that would speed up the process. Thanks, M

Hi Malcolm,

The following code might help you.

CHeers, Dave

defun( TU_replacePads ()
let((pins, padstack)
axlClearSelSet()
axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '("NOALL", "PINS"), ?onButtons '("PINS"))
axlSelect(?prompt "Select pins")
pins = axlGetSelSet()
when(pins
padstack = car(axlUIDataBrowse('PADSTACK '(RETRIEVE_NAME, EXAMINE_DATABASE), "New Pad Name", t))
when(padstack, axlReplacePadstack(pins, padstack))
)
axlClearSelSet()
axlFinishEnterFun()
))
