error when trying to load plt file using axlDetailLoad

jruffsr

I am trying to use the following skill code to load a plt file. This is to replace a script I was using in 16.6 and now trying to migrate to 17.4.

    (axlMsgPut "Turning on DRAWING_FORMAT/PS_OUTLINE")
    axlVisibleLayer("DRAWING FORMAT/PS_OUTLINE" t)
    (axlMsgPut "Generating Border script")
    file = "X:/conf_root/ABB/JMM/pcb/plot/pwbfabBorder.plt"
    (axlMsgPut "Found border file %L" file)
    
    axlDetailLoad(
        file
        -2400:-3600
        1.0
        0            
        nil
    )

This code shows a spinning icon but never completes and after 15 min exits with no data found on the indicated layer.

Any guidance on what could be wrong would be appreciated. Note: I am able to import this plt without any issues.

Thanks

    I just opened a support case for this...

    Update 46571304 axlDetailLoad fails to load file that works fine via File>Import>IPF (load plot)

    Further testing shows that it works if you save the data with axlDetailSave first ( which seems weird... )

    \i (00:11:19) set telskill
    \i (00:11:25) skill 'axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall" "shapes" "text" ) ?onButtons list("noall" "shapes" "text"))'

    Thanks for the info. I an not sure I understand what is going on. it looks like you generate a plt file and then you can import previously saved plt file.  The file was saved in 16.6, do you believe I need to save it out in 17.4 to work?

    Thank you again for this information.
