Forum Post: RE: Creating digital buses in ADE XL: awvCreateBus
Can you check using IC617 ISR4 or later? (IC6.1.7.500.4) - support for families of busses was added then and I think this should be fixed. Regards, Andrew.

Forum Post: RE: User Defined Skill Function - Alias Waveform
It's in the code that builds the form: You need to not reference "waveform" because that's not known when the form is launched (the errors are suppressed by default - you can re-enable them using sstatus(errsetTrace t)). So I commented these four lines out and made the fmin/fmax values fixed defaults. (procedure (abCreateAliasSignalForm) (let (fsample fmin fmax xVec startfreq endfreq len) (setq fsample (ahiCreateStringField ?name 'fsample ?prompt "Sampling Frequency" ?value "" )) /* (setq xVec (drGetWaveformXVec waveform)) (setq len drVectorLength(xVec)) (setq startfreq (drGetElem xVec 0)) (setq endfreq (drGetElem xVec (sub1 len))) */ (setq fmin (ahiCreateStringField ?name 'fmin ?prompt "Min Freq" ?value "0" )) (setq fmax (ahiCreateStringField ?name 'fmax ?prompt "Max Freq" ?value "1G" )) (calCreateSpecialFunctionsForm 'abAliasSignalForm (list (list fsample 0:0 180:20 90) (list fmin 0:30 180:20 90) (list fmax 0:60 180:20 90) ) ) ) ) Regards, Andrew.

Hello Dave Im using this skill, I really like it a lot, thank you for sharing! After I change some vias to a new net I need to right click and the select done on the menu to finish the command, if I click F6 (done) it doesnt works, is this a bug related to a hotfix? is there a way to use F6 also as done? Thank you Alberto

Forum Post: RE: Abrupt closing of Allegro PCB Designer software
I tried the option Tools-> Database Check option. There were some errors in the board which were fixed by the software. After this step, I could update the DRC and everything worked smoothly. No issues with software or license as such. Thank you so much for the help Steve!

Forum Post: RE: Can i make the design rule check blind to a specific layer?
So what do u mean by draw in"layers". Isn't that what we normally do?

Forum Post: RE: Can i make the design rule check blind to a specific layer?
I said if you draw everything on layers the DRC rules know nothing about . I presume you don't normally draw anything on special layers that aren't known to the DRC rules... Andrew

Forum Post: RE: Can i make the design rule check blind to a specific layer?
ah Ok. Got you. Exactly that is what I was getting at. So, is there an easy way to create a layer without messing up the kit (that is why I put my other question regarding making a copy of the kit). But if I can just create a custom layer for myself that does not bring about much hassle, I can just do it right away. Thanks Andrew

Yes, my answer to your other question gives you an easy way to create a custom layer without disturbing the Design Kit.

Forum Post: How to add a new textblock through SKILL?
Hi, I am trying to see if a textblock exists, else trying to add a new one with the new parameters. I am able to access the existing text blocks through the axlGetParam("paramTextBlock: ") command. But, I am unable to figure out how to add a new textblock. I recorded the actions to create a textblock to a .scr script and got the following. How can I achieve the same functionality through SKILL. setwindow pcb trapsize 1 generaledit prmed setwindow form.prmedit FORM prmedit text_setup_button setwindow form.textblock FORM textblock add FORM textblock done setwindow form.prmedit FORM prmedit apply FORM prmedit done setwindow pcb generaledit

Hi Andrew, Wow, that explains a lot of unexpected behavior (and why it started working when I decided to leave "OUT" - seems spectre silently filled the "iiiii" in that case). I would have never guessed! Thanks! And thanks for filing the CCR.

Forum Post: RE: Select cell view from lib manager
Hi Andrew, I have one more problem. I have a selectorField in my code declared as follows: ; Directory Select allows user to select the directory where to save the files dataPath = hiCreateFileSelectorField( ?name 'dataPath ?mode 'directoryOnly ?prompt "Save the file to: " ?value "Please enter the path" ?defValue "~/Desktop/scripts/scriptOutputs" ?callback "validateDataPath()" ?editable nil ?invisible t ) If I select any directory except root, the directory displayed in the textbox is correct, however if I choose the root or a directory that is directly under the root (eg. etc, dev, etc) I will get as output the value "./../../../../../" for root and "./../../../../../etc" for"etc" . However if I choose a directory that is another level below (eg. "/etc/fonts"), it will be displayed correctly. Can you help me please ? Best regards, Jose

Hi Jose, If you want to resolve the path (i.e. not use relative components like this), just add: dataPath->hiSimplifyFilename=t Regards, Andrew.
