PCB Editor SKILL program for finding pin location

Thinker5112

Hi,

I wanted to find the location of a pin in the design using skill program. pin_dbids = axlDBGetDesign()->pins, this gives me all the dbids of the pins that are present in my design. But when im entering that dbid, pad = axlDBGetPad("000001EA8FD8B9F8" "package geometry/assembly_top" "regular") it is throwing an error stating "This dbid is not user defined. Please enter the user defined". So please provide me a snippet so that I can get the exact pin location in the design using skill script.

    I think your issue is that you are passing the pin dbid as a string value by including it within the "" delimiters...

    So, how should I pass that? I even tried without using " " delimiters. Even then I have encountered the same issue. Is there any code snippet which gives me the location of a pin?

    To get a pad:

    pin_dbid = car(axlDBGetDesign()->pins)

    pad = axlDBGetPad(pin_dbid "package geometry/assembly_top" "regular")

    pin_dbid ->xy will give you the location of a pin

    Hi Dave, is there any way that we can get the lower right and upper left coordinates of a bBox?
