Can't get popup to gray Oops
I have a popup definition like this:
(setq userData (axlUIGetUserData))
(putprop userData userData->popupId 'oldPopup)
(setq popupList (axlSelectPopupList))
(setq popupList (cons (list "Next" 'CAL_cvnNext) popupList))
(setq popupList (cons (list "Cancel" 'CAL_cvnCancel) popupList))
(setq popupList (cons (list "Oops" 'CAL_cvnOops) popupList))
(setq popupList (cons (list "Done" 'CAL_cvnDone) popupList))
(setq popupFull (axlUIPopupDefine nil popupList))
(putprop userData popupFull 'popupFull)
(setq popupList (axlSelectPopupList))
(setq popupList (cons (list "Cancel" 'CAL_cvnCancel) popupList))
(setq popupList (cons (list "Done" 'CAL_cvnDone) popupList))
(setq popupNoOops (axlUIPopupDefine nil popupList))
(putprop userData popupNoOops 'popupNoOops)
;Now activate the initial popup with "Oops" and "Next" grayed out
(axlUICmdPopupSet popupFull)
(axlUIPopupSet popupNoOops)
When this code is executed the popup will have Next and Oops grayed out, When a start transaction occurs I execute (axlUIPopupSet popupFull) and nothing is grayed out. If I rollBack this transaction and there are no more transactions to roll back I execute (axlUIPopupSet popupNoOops). But it doesn't gray out Next or Oops.
Anyone with any ideas on why it's not graying out Next or Oops?
Thanks,
Craig

axlCNSGetSpacing checking all constraints except one
Hi all,
I'm trying to find a way to exclude only one constraints using axlCNSGetSpacing. So lets say I have default, A, B, C, ... and so on as constratints, but I would like to bypass constraint B from axlCNSGetSpacing. What would be the best method to check all except one instead of listing them one by one since there may be different ones depending on the board. (constraints B will always be the same name)
Please let me know if anyone has suggestions.
Thank you!

Extract information from pins of a certain spacing class property
Hi everyone,
From my previous post I've found out how to color pads and vias of the certain spacing class that I'm looking for. As the title states, now I'm trying to extract and print information from those nets to a report. Basically I want to parse through all of the nets and filter out/select all of the pads/pins with that spacing class property which I do by using this code:
axlClearObjectCustomColor(axlDBGetDesign() ->nets)
;Select all nets/pins
axlSetFindFilter( ?enabled (list "noall" "pins" "invisible") ?onButtons (list "pins"))
axlAddSelectAll()
pins = axlGetSelSet()
csetNets1 = axlSelectByProperty("net", "SPACING_CONSTRAINT_SET", "TYPE1")
;;Extract which nets have the spacing class property "TYPE1"
cset1_pins = setof(pin, pins, member(pin ->net, csetNets1))
...
etc.
From there I want to take csetx_pins and print them out to a report.. I want the report to look like this:
**********************
Report
**********************
CurrentTime : Mar 25 09:31:46 2013
Pin name x coord y coord Mirrored? Rotation SPAC_CLASSPAD_NAMENet_name
==================================================================================================================================
Q7.2 58.5 23.0 NO 270 degrees TYPE1SR061X046CONT_+3.3V
C1807.2 26.0 23.0 NO 270 degrees TYPE1SR110X100CONT+5V
Q2.1 42.0 23.0 NO 270 degrees TYPE2SO220X064GND
Q3.2 58.5 23.0 YES 270 degrees TYPE1SR061X046CoNT_+3.3V

Q9.1 42.0 23.0 YES 270 degrees TYPE3 SO220X064GND
As you can tell I'd like the report sorted by the mirrored property first to determine which pins are on the back of the board and the front of the board. Then I'd like to sort the report by spacing class (TYPE1, TYPE2, TYPE3)
Here's what I have so far:
=====================================================================
cl_file = outfile("net_list.rpt" "w")
; ------ Print Header
fprintf(cl_file "**********************\n")
fprintf(cl_file "Report\n")
fprintf(cl_file "**********************\n\n")
; ------ Print CurrentTime
fprintf(cl_file "CurrentTime : %s \n" getCurrentTime())
; ------ Print column headers
fprintf(cl_file "Pin name \t x-coord \t y coord \t Mirrored? \t Rotation \t Spacing class \t Pad type \t Net name\n")
fprintf(cl_file
"====================================================================================================================================\n")
design_dbid=axlDBGetDesign()
l_comp_dbids=design_dbid->components
foreach(comp_dbid l_comp_dbids
ref_des=comp_dbid->name
symbol_dbid=comp_dbid->symbol
xy_loc=symbol_dbid->xy
;pins= symbol_dbid->component->pins
mirrorstatus=symbol_dbid->mirrorType
rotationstatus=symbol_dbid->rotation
;padid=axlDBGetPad(symbol_dbid,"ETCH/TOP","REGULAR")
fprintf(cl_file "%s \t\t %L\t\t %s\t\t %4.0f degrees \n" ref_des xy_loc mirrorstatus rotationstatus)
)
close(cl_file)
Can anyone help guide me in a more efficient direction because it seems like this is not the most efficient method..
Thank you very much!

s_backColor with grid cells
Hi
How can a background color for grid cells be set to anything apart from the standard colors shown in the documentation.
I've seen this done in grid cell based forms and have so far not been able to figure this out.
It works for setting cell->backColor to 'green, 'black, 'white etc. but I would like to use rgb or color palette numbers
Anyone know the secret to this?
Best regards

Changing the artwork output dir
I want to write artworks to a design dependent output directory.
I have a script to create artworks,
olddir = "output"
outdir = "output/123456-ND-A"
axlSetVariable("ads_sdart" outdir) ; set working directory to output directory
sprintf(script
"scriptmode +i +n +w +c\n
setwindow pcb\n
artwork\n
setwindow form.film_control\n
FORM film_control select_all\n
FORM film_control database_check YES\n
FORM film_control create\n
setwindow form.film_control\n
FORM film_control ok\n
setwindow pcb\n ") ;end sprintf
COD_replay_script(script)
axlSetVariable("ads_sdart" olddir) ;
If I set "ads_sdart" using setup user preferences, it works fine. If I use this script, the artworks is generated in "output" and art_param.txt is generated in "output/123456-ND-A". That does not make any sense to me. Any surgestions?
Alternatively I could move the files afterwards, but that requires much more unessesary coding.

Find the angle between two segments
I would like to get the angle between two segments, this must be applied to any angled situation.
I have already a function that gets the slope of two segments then the rest is a problem, i cant get the correct result
im using this formula.
angle=(m2-m1)/[1+(m2*m1)]
atan(angle)*180/math.pi
the result must be the added angle of two segments.
sample 1st segment = 90 degree
second segment = 45 degree

Updating pad names with SKILL
Hello all,
I'm a total novice at using skill skill scripting, but have a background in other languages (C++ mostly). At my company, we have a huge database of symbols, padstacks, etc. And would like to standardize all of them. The only reasonable way I can see to accomplish this is to figure out how to write a script that will update every drawing automatically.
The problem I'm trying to figure out is how to take the information in a padstack (the width, height, type, etc.) and rename the padstack using that information. So, for example, a 0.5 x 1.5 rectangular pad becomes 0p5x1p5r.pad
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks,
Mike
