Thanks Dave. I know about scripts, I have been "banging" on them for
years.

I believe you will find that the menu structure is slightly different
between allegro and the viewer, thus the crash.

 

However, you can re- record (or text edit) the scripts and make it work.

I always thought the grid settings weren't accessible from the free
viewer.....? I always had to set up the grids BEFORE I sent a board to a
person using only the free viewer but I haven't really used the free
viewer much since 16.x so I am just guessing... hope this helps, at
least a little bit :-)

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Scripts with Free Viewer

Hey guys,

 

My scripts for different views (layers on/off), setting pads
filled/unfilled etc. are working fine in the Free Viewer. But, my
scripts for changing the grid cause the Free Viewer to crash.

 

Anyone know how to get grid setting scripts to work with the Free
Viewer?

 

TIA!
