Making skill form and logic for IDX transfer.

Mhawley1

Hey Everybody , I am working with the IDX MCADECAD collaboration and I have finally given up using it . In the end this tool is completely unacceptable for use with Siemens NX . Reasons being there is poor recognition on when files are read and accepted back and forth and the units that Siemens use is in inches which allegro then treats as mils .

The only way I see to remedy this is to rebuild the form in allegro and build in custom logic . The problem I have is that I cant find a skill routine that allows for immediate IDX import and export . Its kind of funny because if you type in skill idx it completes like there is some functions there .

what I want as a skill function is IDX_IN <argument with file path> but it doesnt exist . Can anybody dig something up on this and or test it so see if it works.

    the IDF & IDX import/export are individual programs that are called from Allegro, so I do not think there is any existing skill code available...

    It looks like your correct sir , The good news is I did find some sort of command in the help documents . I didn't get it to work but least its something .

    Other interesting discoveries including finding the IDX_IN.exe in C:\Cadence\SPB_17.4\tools\bin . Either way it seems like i'm trying to do something that is not implemented yet .
