How to include a custom report file like Comp_Place.txt in the Allegro Report menu

You need to use SKILL to generate and the axlReportRegister function within it to add the report to the menu, the SKILL routine will need to be loaded when PCB Editor starts, this is usually done through the allegro.ilinit file.

Thanks Oldmouldy,

Do you know if there is a skill code out there for this? 

If not, could someone help?.

Hello,

Example of registering your own report is given in Allegro Skill document.

Example From the document is given below. Is that what you were looking for?

The following registers the report My Hello. The optional keyword in MyReport lets a direct
call to MyReport generate a report to a fixed name file, helloWorld.rpt. otherwise it takes
the name from the report dialog box.

axlReportRegister('MyReport, "XYZ Inc. Hello" "Hello World")
; optional keyword allows a you to call MyReport with a nil where
; the report file generated will be helloWorld.rpt. Otherwise if
; called from report dialog, it will be passed a temporary filename
procedure( MyReport(@optional (reportName "helloWorld"))
let( (fp)
     fp = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_REPORT" reportName "w")
     axlLogHeader(fp "This is my report")
    fprintf(fp, "\nHello World\n")
    close(fp)
    t
))
Unregister above report:
axlReportRegister('MyReport, nil nil)

Thanks,

Kirti
