How to Find the location missing of assembly component subclass BY SKILL.

Hi,

Some issues design appear when I completed and check overall before releasing my design. And I need to check on ASSEMBLY which it is missed by created manual of designer.

Dear Mr Dave and all members of Cadence forum. Please support me to get ideal to check the missing of assembly components.

BTW, Please comment on this case: I used "axlRunBatchDBProgram("extracta" tCmd ?silent t ?noUnload t ?reloadDB nil)" cmd BUT It use big template data (> 30Gb to extract database). The extracted field is PIN, NET. I try to just extract on NET but the tepmplate data still is big. 

Hope your reply!

DDRsvi,

    I'm not sure what you are asking. You say ASSEMBLY is missing. Do you mean the assembly outline of a component, a reference designator, a layer from a mask or something else?

    Extracts can be big. I tend to avoid using them where I can.

    Look at the children of the symbol. There should be lines or shapes on the ASSEMBLY layer

    Yes, i will try.
    Could you  share how I can read what documents to acess property, for example: axlDBGetDesign() ->symbols; symbols -> children; children -> what is properties ( I can not find somewhere to find these properties and it could (-->) to which properties.

    I'm reading the "SKILL Reference" document  at page 94 to find Attributes

    Could you point the document or the way may be practice on Skill command on Allegro tool?

    Thanks alot, Dave

    I thiink about it like this to resolve this request.

    #######################################################################
    Method:
    - Choose layer check: ASS_TOP; ASS_BOT
    - Vissible Layer Active
    - Select all board by bBox
    - Search and Compare Package Geometry for missing assembly subclass
    - Listed Refdes is no assembly and xy location, zoom in
    - Expand option: Auto copy assembly from silkscreen
    - Finish #

    Try something like this:

    defun( DE_AssemblyCheck ()
    foreach(sym, axlDBGetDesign() ->symbols
    unless(exists(obj, sym ->children, memv(obj ->objType, '("path", "shape", "polygon")) && obj ->layer == strcat("PACKAGE GEOMETRY/ASSEMBLY_", if(sym ->isMirrored, "BOTTOM", "TOP")))
    silkObjs = setof(obj, sym ->children, memv(obj ->objType, '("path", "shape", "polygon")) && obj ->layer == strcat("PACKAGE GEOMETRY/SILKSCREEN_", if(sym ->isMirrored, "BOTTOM", "TOP")))
    when(silkObjs
    newObjs = axlCopyObject(silkObjs, ?move 0:0)
    axlSymbolAttach(sym, newObjs)
    axlChangeLayer(newObjs, strcat("PACKAGE GEOMETRY/ASSEMBLY_", if(sym ->isMirrored, "BOTTOM", "TOP")))
    )
    )
    )
    )
