Find ext_artwork and ext_drill
I'm looking for a way in Skill to extract the setup information for artworks and drill files. Cadence sets the default values of art (ext_artwork) and drl (ext_drill). I've written a program to setup the artwork table in the Allegro file but since we use the Cadence default values and or sister company uses different values I would like to know how to extract the values directly from the database.
Hopefully somebody knows how and can point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance!

getting the active command
Hi
I'm working on a small skill program that should only be available during "add connect", but I've not figured out a way to get the active command in skill
Using axlGetCmdSupplementalData() will show "add connect" as the command using pre-selection mode, but if the user selects
Route->Connect then it will return nil as the command. This is also in alignment with the description for axlGetCmdSupplementalData()
But does anyone know if there's a way to get the name of the active command?
Best regards

Modify film_reorder.il
I have been looking at the program "film_reorder.il" (available at cadence.com) and have found it useful but would like to make a small modification to it. After you have selected a layer to be moved (up or down) in the list you have to re-select it if you want to move it more than one position. Does anyone know of a way to modify this program so the selected layer stays selected until another layer is selected? I would like to just click the up/down arrow X times until it is moved into the correct position without having to keep re-selecting the layer.
Thanks!

Check Parallel lines if intersect
given image above,
I would like to check both segments (maroon/orange line could be in any slope value) which are parallel to each other if they intersect.
dashed lines are the perpendicular lines of the maroon or of the orange line (my plan is to use these to get the intersections) .
The problem now is, how can i get the points of the perpendicular lines.
Im welcome for other suggestions.

v163: how to change the capture image's size?
I use allegro v16.3 to capture the current screen's status, but the capture image's size is too large for me, and is there any other argument or method to change the size? I can not change the Editor's size by "trapsize".
so any suggestion? thanks for your kindly help!![]()

Modifying ns_gerber.il
Hi,
I am trying to modify the ns_gerber.il to add some extra layers to the conductor films. My if-then statements seem to work ok for the TOP and BOTTOM layers but I cannot get the inner layers to work. If you look at the commented out lines in the code below you can see my various attempts using else, != and using layer names directly. Any help telling me where I am going wrong greatly appreciated.
Jim O'Mahony
; get conductor layers
my_layers = axlGetParam("paramLayerGroup:etch")
etchcount = 0
i = 0
foreach(layer my_layers->groupMembers
layerparams = axlLayerGet(strcat("ETCH/" layer))
if(layerparams->type=="PLANE" && layerparams->drcPhotoType=="negative" then
pm = 0 ; plot mode negative
else
pm = 1 ; plot mode positive

if(layer=="TOP" then tex = strcat("Texttop")

changing rectangular shape type to dynamic
Hi,
I encountered a problem on converting shape type to dynamic using axlShapeChangeDynamicType.
the code looks somthing like this:
shape = axlDBCreateRectangle(list(0:0 100:100), t, "etch/pwr01" nil )
axlShapeChangeDynamicType(car(shape) t t)
When I input the following, static shape is created but when i try to change it to dynamic type it returns nil and the shape is not changed to dynamic. I tried using the same code to other shape(other than rectangular) but it works well.
