X-out on assembly variants

VECTORT

Hi,

I know that there is an option Manufacture > Variants > Create Assembly Drawing...

but this option makes unpopulated components to disappear, and this is not suitable for documentation for our manufacturing facility.

I know how to go in SKILL through all variants in Variant.lst.

One thing I need is how to draw in skill X of the size of assembly rectangle of the component on certain layer.

Thank you in advance for any tip.

    Something like this:

    defun( DE_VariantAssemblyDraw (variantSymbols, topLayer, bottomLayer)
    foreach(sym, variantSymbols
    bBox = nil
    objs = setof(obj, sym ->children, memv(obj ->objType, '("path", "shape", "polygon")) && obj ->layer == strcat("PACKAGE GEOMETRY/ASSEMBLY_", if(sym ->isMirrored, "BOTTOM", "TOP")))
    foreach(obj, objs
    bBox = if(bBox
    then list(list(min(caar(bBox), caar(obj ->bBox)), min(cadar(bBox), cadar(obj ->bBox))), list(max(caadr(bBox), caadr(obj ->bBox)), min(cadadr(bBox), cadadr(obj ->bBox))))
    else obj ->bBox
    )
    newObj = car(axlDBCreateRectangle(bBox, nil, if(sym ->isMirrored, bottomLayer, topLayer), nil, sym))
    )
    )
    )

    Thank you eDave.

    I have one more question:
    How I can print dbid attributes ?
    I found in forum that I can use dbid->?? and it will return all the attributes, 

    but when I try:
    printf(my_form "some_value: %s", dbid->??)

    I keep getting error that second argument is nil

    Instead of %s use %L.

    printf(my_form "some_value: %L", dbid->??)

    No change, this is what I try to do:

    axlClearSelSet()
    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '(components) ?onButtons '(components))
    result=axlGetSelSet(axlSingleSelectName("COMPONENT" strcat("U10000")))
    printf("Result: %L\n", result->??)

    axlGetSelSet returns a list.

    Use result=car(axlGetSelSet(axlSingleSelectName("COMPONENT" strcat("U10000"))))
