how to run skill file

Hi,
The Skill interactive environment is not currently available in the lowest Allegro level (Studio).
You need to load code using you allegro.ilinit file. Create a file by that name with your load statement in it.
eg.
load("drc_walk.il")
axlCmdRegister("drc walk" 'drc_main)

Cheers, Dave

Another way is:
1. Copy all the skill files that you have to a directory.
2. Open the allegro.init file and load in all the skill files that you copied to your directory.
An example of the allegro.init files looks like this:

setSkillPath(buildString(append1(getSkillPath() "D:/Projects/pcbenv/skill")))

load("AAdd_AttachFile10E.il" "CopperCAD")
load("add_device_label.il")
load("add_symbol.il")
load("addpinuse.il")
load("align_sym.il")
load("ASSEMBLY.IL")
load("Auto_Balancing.il")
load("autosilkUtils.il")
load("build_ver.il")
load("cds2f.il")
load("cdw_axlLineXLine.il")
load("cdwIsPointInsideCircle.il")
load("check_short_segs.il")
load("checkWidth.il")


3. Finally you can close and open your allegro, if you have not closed it priror to following the above steps and play with your skill functions.

Hey Dave,

Can you expand on the "Skill interactive environment " ? I heard about this many years ago but I did not think anything still exists.

Thanks,

Hi Mike, I'm not talking about the Development environment. (I think that is still available for a cost in Unix). Just the interactive environment - available by typing "set telskill" in the command window. Cheers, Dave
