[PCB_FORUM] Re: Changing accuracy, with skill axlGetParam,hangs allegro

Hi Dave,

I thought about that, but I wanted is to change all the paramDesign
settings at once. Like:

p = axlGetParam("paramDesign")

p->width=

p->height=

p->accuracy=

p->units=

axlSetParam(p)

 

This is for a startup program I am working on.

Funny thing is, I snaked this from the
Cadence\SPB_15.2\share\pcb\examples\skill\DOC\FUNCS

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerry

Use axlDBChangeDesignUnits(nil 3)

and axlDBChangeDesignExtents(extents)

Cheers, Dave

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%
usage:-(.

 

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

 

Any ideas??

 

Thanks,

Jerry
