Stand alone skill program that will open different package symbols

Hi,

We're considering a package symbol browser and I would like to know if there is any way to start a skill program inside the PCB Editor that will make it possible to open .dra (or show .psm) files one at a time, each time I select a new .dra file then the skill program terminates and I have to start it over again.

Hi Ole,

This is quite possible and I do it regularly using the axlOpenDesign command.
Skill continues to work.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Ole,

You could create a routine that builds a form that contains a FormList object and some Command Buttons like "OPEN", "CLOSE", and "EXIT". You'd then populate the FormList object with a list of all the symbols and display the form. The user would select a symbol from the FormList object then click "OPEN" which in turn calls axlOpenDesign().

HTH,
