Hello Gowtham,  like you I am very new to Skill and have been asked to work on a similar request.

I think a key function that may help would be axlFilmCreate.

All the axl functions are described in:  C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\share\pcb\examples\skill\DOC\FUNCS (on my machine anyway, may be different on yours)

It this doesn't do it, hopefully it will give you some more ideas to try.

It goes like this:

NAME
axlFilmCreate - create or replace an artwork film
SYNOPSIS
axlFilmCreate(
t_filmname
?negative t/nil
?undefineLineWidth f_width
?sequence x_number
?rotation x_angle
?xOffset f_x
?yOffset f_y
?shapeBoundingBox f_value
?mirrored t/nil
?fullContact t/nil
?suppressUnconnectPads t/nil
?drawMissingPadApertures t/nil
?useApertureRotation t/nil
?suppressShapeFill t/nil
?vectorBasedPad t/nil
?drawHolesOnly t/nil
?layers lt_layers
?domains lt_domains
?ipc2581 lt_ipcDomains
) -> t/nil
FUNCTION
This creates a new artwork film or replaces an existing film.
The terminology used matches the artwork dialog. You should reference
the help for this dialog to understand how the fields are used.

Defaults for all boolean entiess is nil.

Due to Valor issue suppressShapeFill will always be nil if using Gerber 4x or 6x.

drawHolesOnly if t will draw the drill holes for all pads defined on the VIA and PIN
CLASS for the film.

Enanble axlDebug for additional error messages.
NEEDS
t_filmname - film name
f_width - undefined line width, default is 0.
x_sequence - For PDF output ordering. Default is 1, range is 1 to 255.
If films have the same number, their database order will determine output.
x_angle - film rotations, values are 0, 90, 180 or 270, Default is 0.
f_x, f_y - film offset in design units, Default is 0,0
f_shapeBoundingBox - Shape bounding box in design units. Default is 0.
lt_layers - list of Allegro layers to apply to film. Default is none.
Layer names are fully qualified (include both class and subclass)
Example: "ETCH/TOP"
A mode exists where if you specify the class name all subclasses of that class
are listed in the film. Example: "MANUFACTURING"
lt_domains - list of domains where film should be visible. Values are
ipc2581, pdf, artwork and visibility. Default is all.
lt_ipc2581 - list of domains where film should be used in IPC2581.
Values are inner, outer, misc, doc and soldermask.
RETURNS
t if film created
nil if error
SEE ALSO
axlGetParam, axlDeleteObject, axlDebug
EXAMPLES
Add/Change:
- In artwork dialog use RMB to save a film to film (FILM_SETUP.txt) to understand
how to add films.
Get all films:
p = axlGetParam("artwork")
p->groupMembers
Get a single film (where format is "artwork:<film name>"):
s = axlGetParam("artwork:top")
s->??
Delete a film (in this case top):
axlDeleteObject(s)

Hello thanks for your post especially for clear picture about axlfilmcreate function.i tried implementing this few days back and I can do it.since I'm doing most of skills in 16.6 I realised finally that there was a new function which was updated in latest version and done with it. Now I'm planning to improve it by doing some popup popup  by selecting electrical /non-electrical additions.
