Hello, I am an electrical engineer working on embedded passive components. In fact I have a 3D model which I have already converted into 2D (allegro format DRA through a code). But the DRA I got has no pins (there are no Pads in Allegro) and I have to assign pins myself (input/output points). In fact I gave several turns to make an inductor and copper plates on layers to create a capacitor for my project. Now I want to use them to be treated as standalone symbols and link them with my netlist. Does anyone have any idea about SKILL code or any workaround to define pins to those structures in allegro.

I've used it but there is a problem of offset for the texts rotated. Any idea to remove this inconvenient? For the spin I know this function but you have to do it one by one.

I wrote it ages ago. Hasn't been used in a while, but I know it worked at one point. Save your board before you run it! Douglas G.

Dunno if there's something already in existance that fits the bill but SKILL could handle this fairly easily. 1) gather up all text objects 2) sift out REF DES/ASSEMBLY_TOP, REF DES/ASSEMBLY_BOTTOM, REF DES/SILKSCREEN_TOP and REF DES/SILKSCREEN_BOTTOM into a top_text_list and a bot_text_list 3) develop a subroutine that , given an object's angle, returns the quadrant of the angle ( this is to catch text that doesn't fall exactly at 0/90/180/270 ) 4) foreach text obj in each list, determine quadrant save text data in a struct set new angle in struct based on quadrant delete existing text obj create new text obj using struct HTH, Chris Walters local Cadence guru (Apple) _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list please login at //www.freelists.org.
