Exporting Layout Views as SVG Using SKILL in Allegro

SambaKantipudi

Hello Community,

Is there a way to convert layout views to SVG format using SKILL?

For example, I'd like to export film views such as Assembly, Soldermask, etc.

I’m looking for methods or best practices to generate high-quality SVG output directly from Allegro using SKILL scripts.

Thanks in advance

    You can use an online tool or Inkscape to export an SVG from a PDF.
    Alternatively, a skill can do the job, but there is a significant amount of work since every single database element needs to be transferred to SVG.

    Certainly you can use Skill to convert to your layout features to SVG and I have done exactly that.

    It's not difficult but it does involve a large amount of code writing and a reasonable understanding of SVG syntax.

    My advice is to start writing functions to convert each element into SVG - lines, arcs, polygons, pads etc.

    Allow for location, scale, colour, transparency etc in each function.

    Good luck!
