How to change text alignment with script (console command)? [SOLVED]

MaxKielland

I'm writing a script (ULP) to smash all Resistors, Capacitors and Inductors and then set the text alignment to "Center" and move it to the origo of the package.

Now I'm stuck on how to change the text alignment, I can't find any command to do that.

 

Bonus question: How do I un-smash a smashed component in ULP?

  • Hi Max, could you share the ULP to align text to device? If possible, thanks!!

    to group all parts and smash:

         display none 23 24; group all; display last;

         smash (>0 0);

     

    group all parts names and set align to centered:

         display none 25 26; group all; display last;

         change align center (>0 0);

     

    to align the part names to the part origin (this is the part you realy

    need an ULP for, because you need to place the text origin onto the

    part origin. That is you need to generate a "move part-name>name

    (part-x part-y);" command for each part):

     

         string s, cmd;

         board(BRD) BRD.elements(ELM) {

           sprintf(s, "move %s>name (%fmic %fmic);",

             ELM.name, u2mic(ELM.x), u2mic(ELM.y));

           cmd += s;

         }

         exit(cmd);
