is there a skill code which grabs a text string from an external file and attaches this as user defined property value to an object in allegro?

papanna

I am looking for a  skill code which grabs a particular text string from an external text file and attaches this as user defined property value to an object in allegro.

Thanks

    Sure.

    I'll leave the reading of the text file to you, but there are plenty of examples around. You can start with looking at subfolders of $CDS_ROOT\share\pcb\examples\skill.

    axlDBAddProp() will add the property to the object, and you will likely need to use axlDBCreatePropDictEntry() as well.
