Export DXF and ODB through skill

Eugene Yeoh

Hello Guys,

I am try to develop a skill that export dxf and odb with single button, in this skill i aim to auto fill in the name of the layer and directory where the file should save.

Any idea which command we can use that?

I had try to do it with "replay script" but it not user friendly enough that the file name and directory are fixed.

Regards,

Eugene

    Don't use a scipt to do this. Use axlRunBatchDBProgram and call th brd2odb executable with the parameters that you want.

    Hi Dave,

    i try a2dxf but i not able to change the cnv file according to film user wanted to convert to dxf.

    for example:

    initial user manully use ABC.cnv to convert drill film to dxf(user can edit the cnv and save)
    second time user to ABC.cnv to convert soldermask film to dxf.(dxf that export is in drill film as axlRunBatchDBProgram did not include the parameter to edit the contain of cnv)

    any idea how can i edit the .cnv file according to user selected film?

    Regards,

    Eugene
