After some time I'm back to this topic. I've not been able to figure this out after a bit of trying. Can anyone help me out? Here is the code I have now, based upon what was provided by B Bruekers: procedure(xxxSilkSizeUpdater() pcre = pcreCompile(".DRA" 1) ; avoid confirmation during interactions noconfirmStatus = axlGetVariable("NOCONFIRM") axlSetVariable("NOCONFIRM", t) findFilterEnabledList = axlGetFindFilter(t) findFilterOnList = axlGetFindFilter() done = 0 ; get list of all footprints at the corporate library location ;footprintList = pcreMatchList(pcre getDirFiles(strcat(axlGetVariable("CDS_SITE") "/footprints"))) footprintList = pcreMatchList(pcre getDirFiles(".")) footprintListLength = length(footprintList) foreach(footprint footprintList axlMsgPut("Updating %s (%d/%d symbols processesed...)" footprint done++ footprintListLength) if(axlOpenDesignForBatch(footprint "wf") then ;do change here axlMsgPut("%s" footprint) axlClearSelSet() axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall" "text") ?onButtons list("noall" "text")) ;axlMsgPut("%L" axlSelectByName("REFDES" "*" t)) axlMsgPut("%L" axlDBGetDesign()->prop->??) ;save and compile symbol axlCompileSymbol() else axlUIConfirm(sprintf(nil "Could not open %s!" footprint) 'error) ) ) axlSetVariable("NOCONFIRM", noconfirmStatus) axlSetFindFilter(?enabled findFilterEnabledList ?onButtons findFilterOnList) ) The intent would be that this is launched from an Allegro instance in the directory with all library footprints. It could also have a hard-coded path using $CDS_SITE. It appears to work in that it opens each footprint would allow work to be done, but there are two issues: 1. Footprints which haven't been opened in a while still generate a blocking UI to update them. The NOCONFIRM variable nor opening in axlOpenDesignForBatch() in "wf" mode help here. 2. I haven't figured out how to grab just the ref des text. I'm sure I can figure this out, I just haven't gotten there yet. My original idea was to use a command script to run through all files. Something like the following in a CMD file (we run Windows): set noconfirm=t for %%f IN (*.dra) DO start /wait allegro -product allegro_performance -s test_symbol.scr %%f But that didn't seem fruitful so I posted here. Any help?![]()
