Skill-Command for execute printing in the print preview menu

Mabr86

Cadence 23.1: By executing "plot" in the command-line, the following window appears.

Is there an skill command that can be used to start printing (red arrow)?

    Which tool is this from? There are many releases with 23.1 as the number and no release or tool called “Cadence” - I suspect you’ve posted this in the wrong place but I don’t know where I should move it to as I don’t recognize the tool you’re using.

    Hello , I could not find any SKILL command which can start printing. We have axlCanvasPrintToPDF() which can be used to save as pdf.

    Unfortunately, axlCanvasPrintToPDF() does not help me in this case. The print preview is opened by a script (.scr). The script is very old and extensive. In order to keep the effort to a minimum, a suitable skill-command or macro/script-command that I could insert at the appropriate place would be very helpful.

    Hello , currently the "Print" button is not scriptable. As well as there is no SKILL API available. There is a Cadence Change Request(CCR) 3016239 filed for this requesting this functionality.
