skill for changing trace width in particular region

Gowtham229

Hi can any one help provide the skill file for changing trace width in pcb using skill file.Currently i have skill file which can change trace width by selecting layer, existing trace width to new trace width .but for example if i have 5mils trace width in layer 5 it was changing in entire board file. i just want to select only particular region in PCB to change trace width which should not effect other traces. please let me know if any one can help with skill file. 

Regards,

Gowtham

    Not sure what you mean by "region". If you just want to select using segments in a visible rectangle do something like this:

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '("NOALL", "CLINESEGS"), ?onButtons '("NOALL", "CLINESEGS"))
    axlAddSelectBox()
    axlChangeWidth(axlGetSelSet(), newWidth, nil)
    axlClearSelSet()

    Hi dave thanks for your reply i have seen many of your posts & most of them i'm using currently. can you tell me how to merge this code in .il skill file.please see the image below for which i'm using to change trace width which was changing all the segments in board not in particular area of board

    The code is very old (2003) and inefficient. I would re-write it all using axlChangeWidth and an embedded form rather than try to modify this code.

    If I get a chance I will look at it next week.

    Before I do this... You do realise that this can be done using the Edit/Change menu now?

    Yes dave I'm already using edit change Cline with width by giving multiple mouse clicks for each Cline.but it's taking so much of time for complex boards
