[SOLVED] Ratsnets desition make based on different layer

truhlik_fredy

Hello everybody,

 

I'm wondering if following is possible. I need to have a ratsnets being made based on top layer, but the polygon itself needs to be stored in a different layer. I need to automate process with cam and I need to have it stored under different layer to apply different settings to the job. But the ratsnets needs to be decided on the top layer.

 

Thanks in advance for any hints or ideas.

 

PS: if it's possible in any specific version I don't mind upgrading/downgrading.

    you could use an ulp to copy the polygons, redraw them in the target

    layer.

     

    Something like the following:

     

    |  board(BRD) {

    |    string s, cmd = "change layer 100;";

    |    BRD.signals(SIG) {

    |      if (SIG.name == "TEST") {

    |        SIG.polygons(POL) {

    |          if (POL.layer == 1) {

    |            sprintf(s, "change width %fmic;", u2mic(POL.width));

    |            cmd += s;

    | 

    |            POL.contours(FIL) {

    |              sprintf(s, "wire (%fmic %fmic) (%fmic %fmic);", u2mic(FIL.x1), u2mic(FIL.y1), u2mic(FIL.x2), u2mic(FIL.y2));

    |              cmd += s;

    |            }

    |            POL.fillings(FIL) {

    |              sprintf(s, "wire (%fmic %fmic) (%fmic %fmic);", u2mic(FIL.x1), u2mic(FIL.y1), u2mic(FIL.x2), u2mic(FIL.y2));

    |              cmd += s;

    |            }

    |          }

    |        }

    |      }

    |    }

    |    exit(cmd);

    |  }

     

    it redraws the polygons of signal "TEST" in the top layer into layer

    100 using wires.

     

    Thats quick and dirty 8-)  but seems to do the job

    Nice solution Lorenz! I've learned something, I did not know about the contour() and fillings() loop members in polygons. Thank you!

     

    Anton, if you set the line width of your polygon in your design thinner this should translate to a thinner line in your new polygons.

     

    If you see this line:

     

    sprintf(s, "change width %fmic;", u2mic(POL.width));

     

    This sets the line width based on the width specified for the polygon (which it needs to do). So you should just be able to reduce the polygon line width down and hopefully that will solve some of your remaining issues.

     

    Best Regards,

    That didn't solve the second issue, while made the first issue less dominant (which was not that bad, the second issue was the real problem). Lorenz reply fixed both issues.
