PCB Design: Python Scripts: PCB Skill

Thamizhk

Hi Everyone,

I am new to skill scripting and trying to understand how the PCB skill is working.

I have a following question.

- Where i can look for basic skill script starting point.

- Where i can check for any APIs?

- How do i find out which register or command or API for what purpose?

- Is there a way python and pcb design can work together?

        I mean ; to write some script in python(Which i know)  for some PCB design activity and that will run in the PCB design command terminal?

        Any leads to starting point?

    $CDSROOT/doc/sklanguser

    $CDSROOT/doc/sklangref

    $CDSROOT/doc/algroskill

    For APIs look at $CDSROOT/doc/algroskill

    To register skill code as commands use the function axlCmdRegister()

    I haven't uses python, but have used Perl from skill, below is an example:

    axlRunBatchDBProgram("perl" sprintf(nil "%%CDSROOT%%/tools/perl5/bin/perl.exe %s %s > %s" cmdfile file1 file2) ?reloadDB nil ?noUnload t ?noProgress t ?silent t)
