Hi all,

I am trying to use the following skill routine to change the accuracy of an allegro data base:



p = axlGetParam("paramDesign")

         p->accuracy = 3

         axlSetParam(p)



When I get to the "p->accuracy=3, I get this warning message: W- *WARNING* (axlParam): attribute read-only

If I try and do axlSetParam(p) allegro hangs and my system goes to 100% usageL.



I also have tried to change the width of the design with the same syntax and got the same results.



Any ideas??



Thanks,

Jerry
