Need a replacement for axlTriggerSet

archive
archive over 17 years ago

I have a small piece of code that uses axlTriggerSet.

axlTriggerSet( 'open 'tst)



When using this function the system crashes quite regularly.  The documentation states that if you experience problems with this function to use set dbg_noskilltriggers environment variable.  I need this function to work so I cannot set this variable.  The code exicutes another skill program every time a design is opened, even in the same Allegro session. Does anyone know of an alternate function that does the same thing?

Thanks,
Boma

    please see text docu: C:\Cadence\SPB_16.01\share\pcb\examples\skill\DOC\FUNCS\ -> axlTriggerSet.txt

    you must follow the rule of not supported functions, I have also seen that skill trigger crashes more often if allegrohtml viewlog is enabled. Try disabling html viewlog view until you figure out what call causes the crash.

    RESTRICTIONS
    Unless otherwise indicated, in you Skill callback trigger you
    cannot do the following:
    - open, save or close the current database
    - call axlShell
    - call any of the axlEnter functions or any of the Select
    object functions to request a user pick.
    You should restrict any user interaction to blocking dialogs (forms).
