    One of the most powerful features of Allegro is SKILL which is the programming language to control the database for a board. SKILL is much like LISP and can be a bit tricky to learn. With SKILL you can essentially invent your own set of commands. Cadence has a public library of such invented commands available for free download.

    Learning SKILL is really tricky. I suggest reading the online documentation and looking at existing programs. Once you learn how the programs work then you too can begin writing your own SKILL code. Debugging SKILL is not a trivial matter. The only debugger I am aware of must run on a Sun workstation -- not Windows. That to me is a serious limitation of the toolset.

    Hi kingshar,

    If you search this site (for SKILL), or www.pcbstands.com, or www.pcblibraries.com, or www.padmasters.com, you should be able to find out all you'd need to know SKILL's function.

    Also, there is a SKILL_SCHOOL group on Yahoo Groups. Uri does a VERY thorough teaching of SKILL.

    Good day.
    Mitch
