Datum Dimension by skill

vimaldevlpr

Hi

Is any way to do datum dimension measuring and placing in corner of brd file using cadence skill program if it possible please guide me to do.

       

  • You can't do this directly using skill since there are no direct skill commands for doing this & the dimensioning commands appear to block skill commands

    I was able to do this by having the skill code write a script file which it replays after generating it...

    Example script file segment for the design cds_routed.brd shown below:

    version 17.4
    setwindow pcb
    generaledit
    dimension edit
    prepopup 0 0
    pop dyn_option_select @:@Parameters
    setwindow form.draft_parms
    FORM draft_parms text
    FORM draft_parms align_text YES
    FORM draft_parms done
    setwindow pcb
    color192
    QtSignal CVDLayerContainer CVDVisibilityOff clicked
    QtSignal CVDLayerSplitter CVDLayersTree itemSelectionChanged "Drawing format"
    QtSignal CVDLayerTable CVDLayerTableDelegate clickedBox "Drawing_Origin" Drawing 1
    QtSignal CVDLayerSplitter CVDLayerTable dataChanged 1 0
    QtSignal CVDLayerSplitter CVDLayerTable selectionChanged
    QtSignal ColorVisibilityDialog CVDOkButton clicked
    setwindow pcb
    generaledit
    dimension edit
    setwindow pcb
    setwindow form.mini
    FORM mini datum_axis BOTH
    setwindow pcb
    prepopup 0 0
    pop dyn_option_select '@:@Datum dimension'
    pick 0 0
    pick 0 -650.000000
    pick 0 -1050.000000
    prepopup 0 0
    next
    pick -650.000000 0
    pick -1050.000000 0
