DRC from TCL

ggeorgg over 1 year ago

Dear community,

is it possible to directly run a design rule check via TCL?

I have found the procedure "OrHandlerDRCConfig::capRunDRCConfigData", but it does not create the drc file when calling

for example like this:

set pStrClientId "hostedClientId"

set pStrDRCConfigDataJson [::OrEntryDRCConfig::capGetDefaultDRCConfigData $pStrClientId]

OrHandlerDRCConfig::capRunDRCConfigData $pStrDRCConfigDataJson

The return value is just "3". Possible that the "pStrDRCConfigDataJson" variable is just wrong. Did someone already do this? It shall be part of a fully non-interactive script to help developers speed up when they think the design is ready to be "compiled". Currently I just open the DRC Widget with "Menu 'PCB::Design Rules Check" ', but using this procedure, the script become interactive.

Thanks

Georg

Hello CadAP,

I did what you suggested, but I am not able to get it to work. Isn't there another way using the already existing procedures which also get called, when executing the DRC from the gui? Something like this:

# pStrDRCConfigDataJson created manually so that it results in the same string as when the function is called from the gui.

set pStrClientId "hostedClientId"

::OrEntryDRCConfig::capRunDRCConfigData $pStrDRCConfigDataJson $pStrClientId

Any updates for 23.1? As the menu has changed and 'Menu "Tools::Design Rules Check"' no longer outputs anything regarding DialogBox
