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))
    )
    )
    )

    I have another question.
    this bBox creates rectangular area of whole component is it possible to use only one layer from component?
    For example PACKAGE GEOMETRY/DFA BOUND_(TOP,BOTTOM)
    The reason for that is that some components have some elements that are out of PACKAGE GEOMETRY/DFA BOUND_(TOP,BOTTOM) (e.x. SilkScreen) but using bBox sise I am getting bigger Xout that I would like to have (example attached).

    Look at my code more carefully.

    I did and still it is not exactly what I am looking for, there is issue with rotated components.
    I have idea how to solve it but I am not able to find out how to get coordinates of corners for shape from "PACKAGE GEOMETRY/DFA_BOUND_(TOP,BOTTOM)"

    Could you please help with that.

    One more:
    how to display dbid attributes ? I try to do but without success:
    axlClearSelSet()
    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '(components) ?onButtons '(components))
    result=axlGetSelSet(axlSingleSelectName("COMPONENT" strcat("U10000")))
    printf("Result: %L\n", result->??)

    Get the bBox attribute from your shapes to find the corners.

    You must take the car of your result as (not surprisingly) axlGetSelSet returns a list of dbids.
