Pdf_out using axlRunBatchDBProgram

Hi Guys,

I try to mirror some of the artwork film and generate PDF.

but the output PDF does not mirror even the "mirrored setting" in artwork film already set.

 

If manually do everything(file>export>pdf), without save the design, i able to print the pdf according to mirror setting.....must be something wrong in coding.

unless i add in "axlsavedesign", only i got the result with mirror.

Anyway to modifier the coding without add in "axlsavedesign"? =(

    Hi enegue,

    I don't that is possible.

    I do also a save design to a temporary design file before generating the pdf files (you even don't have to give it a .brd extension).

    This is a part of the code which I use :

    axlSaveDesign(?design "tmp_design_for_pdf.tmp", ?mode "nocheck", ?noMru t, ?noConfirm t, ?writeModel t)

    dummy=strcat("pdf_out tmp_design_for_pdf.tmp -o \"" axlCurrentDesign() "\"-114.PDF -p -x -P " films_to_plot)

    axlRunBatchDBProgram("Generating Layout sheets 114." dummy)

    deleteFile("tmp_design_for_pdf.tmp" )
