How to tell if a board is dirty.

dukepro over 13 years ago

Is there a flag in ULP that can tell me whether or not the board needs

saving?

I'm looking for something like:

board(B) {

if (B.dirty) {

dlgMessageBox("Board needs to be saved.");

exit(1);

}

...

}

An alternative is to save the board from within a ULP. Something like.

board(B) {

if (B.dirty) {

B.save();

}

...

}

Thanks in advance,

- Chuck

Hi Chuck

Not the question you asked but the approach I have take is to immediately save the board each time the ULP is run (unless already saved) and then re-enter the ULP with arguments which I test for to see if I just saved it.

run ULP
if(argv[1] != "saved") exit("write;\n run ULP saved";)
else ...do ULP
