Open command, axlOpenDesign

Cadencer

Hi!

I have two troubles with Allegro Skill code.

First, how can I open a design to read mode?

I search the reference skill code, but that shows just write mode.

I want to know opening a design to read mode.

Second, if I use a command "open", how can I use a variable value?

For example,

axlShell("open example.brd")   -> This works well

But, 

a = example.brd

axlShell("open a") -> This does not work..Allegro tools warn "a.brd does not exist"

I want to use the variable value..

Thank you

Best regard!

    Use this:

    a= "example.brd"

    axlOpenDesignForBatch(a "wf")

    Regarding the read-only, just open the design and don't save it.

    Also, be aware with axlShell() commands. It can result in strange issues with your own skill code. Interactive commands will cancel/done any running function, even your code.

    So, use axlShell() commands only when you are sure there is no other way to accomplish a task.
