I don't know anything about this rotator program (I already wrote my
own), but there is an easy way to set up Allegro to reload a SKILL
program without closing/reopening Allegro. I add a line like this to my
'env' file:
 
alias ls 'skill load("K:/library/skill/my_prog.il")'

This sets up an alias called "ls" that loads the SKILL program.

Goodmorning JC and everyone
 
From everything I've read so far I like the idea of this
program.(Rotator Program that is)  I loaded it but I get error lines. IF
anyone can assist with this I'd appreciate it.
 
1. E- *Error* eval: undefined function - _DTL_UTILS_get_temp
 
I go int ot the code and temporarily add a ";" to the start of that line
to get past it and then I get this error message...
 
2. E- *Error* go: label does not exist - EndProg
 
Is there a way to load an updated .il file without having to close and
reopen Allegro?
 
Thanks in advance.
Looking forward to getting this running and testing it.
 
Alan

        Hi,
        
        Today we have a new release from the open source DesignTools
project and
        it includes the new Rotator program. The Rotator program is
designed to
        do bulk rotation of text in your design so you no longer need to
waste
        hours manually rotating each chunk of text to the desired
position. This
        is particularly helpful when you are starting to do silks or if
you use
        the Cadence "Modules" feature in your designs.
        
        http://www.DesignTools.org
        
        The idea for this tool came from Pat Davis of Millennium Design
simply
        because he needed something like this. With any luck, it will
also save
        you some time.
        
        During the last few weeks most of the work put into the
DesignTools
        project has gone into the general organization and
infrastructure.
        Though this work doesn't immediately result in new programs or
features
        for end users, it will mak e life a lot easier going forward.
        
        If you have any ideas, feedback or opinions please voice them on
the
        discussion@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list.
        
        Kind Regards,
        J.C. Roberts
