[PCB_FORUM] Re: archives/searching, was Re: Allegro "secret" command thieving

In your cadence installation directory you should find a docs/algrskill
folder (at our site it is at J:\Apps\edatools\psd\15.2e\doc\algroskill).
There is a .pdf file and an html tree with the axlSkill commands.

Happy Hunting!

I found that the normal GUI delete function combined with find shapes and
find by name set to property BALANCE=. can be use to select all balance
shapes visible. So my problem is solved.

While looking at the auto_balancing.il skill code I ran into a new problem,
see separate new subject:
Skill language, axl* commands, where do I find explanation of the axl*
functions they are not in the skill reference manual.

I edited the Skill program to add a custom property (copper_fill) to each
thieving shape added by the program. This way it's simple for anyone to
delete the shapes after the fact (for example: when you spin the rev).

I'd attach it here, but I've modified (butchered?) the program so much that
no one would recognize it anymore. Now that I look at it, I have it adding
the fill to a different subclass too.

With the old skill, fix all net and delete all shapes.
You may prefer to create a custom property (for shapes, Boolean). Attach
this to all shapes then delete it from your own shapes.
This would allow deleting the balance shapes by selecting the property. Bit
of a PITA, probably better ways. Alternately...

Thanks everyone.

It turned out that for some unknown reason the thieving command did not add
as it should in all areas of my board.
So I had to go back to the AutoBalancing.il skill program.
This old skill program works when generating patterns, only problem is that
the delete function don't work.
I'll try and find a solution to this delete function.

Hi
Peter

Hey, that worked well.

  :)

I was used to the old server not archiving well, and never checked after the
change.

This is cool.

The other cool thing is if i happen to have it on my own comp, i get those
results, too.

googling icu-pcb-forum it is!
