Can anyone tell me how to extract teh total number of backdrill plunges using Skill in allegro

Thank you very much. I will give it a try.

Thank you very much. I will give it a try.

I just wrote this:

procedure((get_backdrill_cnt)
let((objs cnt data)
(cnt = 0)
(objs=list())
(axlClearSelSet)
(axlSetFindFilter ?enabled '("noall" "pins" "vias" "invisible") ?onButtons '("noall" "pins" "vias"))
(axlAddSelectAll)
(objs = setof(obj (axlGetSelSet) obj->isThrough))
foreach(obj objs
(data = axlBackdrillGet(obj))
when(data
(cnt++)
)
)
axlMsgPut("BackDrill cnt = %d" cnt)
cnt
)
)

below is an example of running it:

\i (00:02:23) skill 'load "c:/users/david1/documents/get_backdrill_cnt.ils"'
(00:02:23) variable get_backdrill_cnt redefined
(00:02:23) t
\i (00:02:25) skill get_backdrill_cnt
\t (00:02:25) BackDrill cnt = 42
(00:02:25) 42

Hi David,

Thank you very much.

That is cleaner than what I was trying to do.

I had 2 loops, one for pins and one for vias.

Didn't think of isThrough.

This is great!

Thank you again.
