Netex-G Library Revision HistoryThis page contains revision history for the NETEX-G library which is used by OEM partners who wish to tightly integrate NETEX-G functionality into their applications. v1.13 9/19/2017New version for Windows 64 and Linux 64This version only supports 64 bit on Windows and Linux. 32 bit components were removed. It also includes support for MS VS 2015. v1.12 5/25/2017ODB Import Layer GroupsThe sNETEXGLIB_IMPORT struture has a new field, "omitGroups", which is an array of integers where each element is a flag for a layer group. The constants in the "eImportGroup" set are defined in "ntxg_lib_const.h". Currently, only soldermask, silkscreen, components, and rout, are recognized. This was implemented for a user who wanted to import the copper stackup only without having to enumerate the copper stackup layers. Added Incremental Extractions Capability The "extractions" field of type sNETEXGLIB_EXTRACTIONS was added to the sNETEXGLIB_OPTIONS structure. It contains the following data fields: DATA FIELD DESCRIPTION fileInput Name of file containing extraction requests keepIncrInfo Tells library to keep incremental files for subsequent runs. useIncrInfo Tells library to use incremental files for actual runs count Reserved for internal use list Reserved for internal use The format of the extraction file is as follows: <EXTRACTION_SET_1> <EXTRACTION_SET_2> ... <EXTRACTION_SET_N> Where each set has the following format B_EXTRACTIONS [BASE_NAME <name>] [<NET_NAMES>] [<WINDOW(S)>] E_EXTRACTIONS The <name> after BASE_NAME is the name of the file to use to generate output filenames. In its absence, the main output filename is used to that end. [<NET_NAMES>] is in the following form: B_NET_NAMES <NM_0> <NM_1> ... <NM_N> E_NET_NAMES Each <NM_M> is either a literal net name or a regular expression depicting one or more nets to be included. In the absence of this sub section, all nets are included. [<WINDOW(S>] is in the following form: <W_1> <W_2> ... <W_N> Each <W_N> is either in the form of CWH: <CENTER_X>, CENTER_Y> <WIDTH> <HEIGHT> or LLUR: <LOWER_LEFT_X> <LOWER_LEFT_Y> <UPPER_RIGHT_X> <UPPER_RIGHT_Y> Extractions may specify net names and or windows. The net name extractions has yet to fully completed. v1.11 4/25/2017New Argument to LibraryThe sNETEXGLIB_OPTIONS structure has a new field,"mgrArgs", which supports this. It is NULL by default, but if it points to a character buffer, whatever is in that buffer, is appended to the "netexgmgr" comand line. Update to Sample ProgramThe sameple program now has added "-mgrargs [arg(s)]" argument The [arg(s)] are all the arguments that follow "-mgrargs". those arguments are collected and passed into the library's new "mgrArg" option field as one string. This string is then appended to the end of the "netexgmgr" comand line. v1.10 4/5/2017Daisy chain licensingThe required output and import license(s) will be acquired and retained and will not be released until closing time. Rounded Thermal DrawsThe ODB++ importer was revised with respect to rounded thermal draws. The new behavior interprets the gap region in the same way as does Valor's Genesis which measures where the arc, computed from the average of outer and inner diameters, intersects with round ends. The previous behavior computed the gap as the space between round ends. v1.09 10/11/2017Error and Warning File FormattingAdded missing newline characters to error and warning messages. ODB++ Import Progress Display By setting pOptions -> preferences.advStgs.execDisplayMethodto one of two modes NETEXGLIB_EXECDISPLAY_SINGLE or NETEXGLIB_EXECDISPLAY_MULTIPLE the progress of ODB++ importing is displayed. The default mode is NETEXGLIB_EXECDISPLAY_MULTIPLE. To prevent displaying this progress, the mode to use is NETEXGLIB_EXECDISPLAY_NONE. Licensing Library Update The flexlm licensing library was updated to v11.13.1.2 from v11.3. Revised Sample Code
v1.08 06/01/2016Initialize Error Return StructureNo details provided by programmer. Added "-usestatwin" argument to the Example Program This is a windows argument invoking the use of a built in Windowss dialog box rather than the use of the newly added status3f32 program. v1.08 05/09/2016Added arguments to extraArgs sNETEXGLIB_OPTIONS FieldError info structure return controls were added to this field: -logerr2errinfo Excludes log errors + respective header and command lines in error info structure returns. -maxerr2errinfo:<val> Specify maximum <val> errors in error info structure returns. This is used in absence of -logerr2errinfo argument. Default is 100. -logwrg2errinfo Excludes log warnings + respective header and command lines in error info structure returns. -maxwrg2errinfo:<val> Specify maximum <val> warnings in error info structure returns. This is used in absence of -logwrg2errinfo argument. Default is 100. -add_errlog_hdrcmdln Adds respective header and command lines from log errors in error info structure returns.Fix Handling of Extract Section The library was adding a duplicate of this section each time it was run. This has been fixed. Error Log File Generation has been revised The detail log token, <START_OF_NETEX-G>, is used to jump to the first program operation in the log file. The detail log token, <END_OF_OPERATION>, is output upon encountering <END_OF_OPERATION> or <END_OF_PROGRAM_LOG> tokens ODB++ Import Updated to support SIGNALLYR TYPE instead OF SIGNAL No details provided by programmer Added NetexGLib_GetFileName Function This function, when passed a <file_type> constant will return a desired file name. The constant can be one of the following: cFileType_NJB Netex-G Job File Contains input information to execute Netex-G cFileType_ERRLOG Error Log File Contains brief summary of errors and warnings detected in Netex-G execution. cFileType_PGMLOG Program Log File Contains General information about Netex-G execution cFileType_DETLOG Detail Log File Contains General information about Netex-G execution v1.07 10/06/2015Silent Mode is no Longer the DefaultNo details provided by the programmer. Added options for DXF and GDSII Output (1) commponentLibraries (2) disableNameFix (GDSII only) (3) flatten (4) padMetalFilter (5) threeDExtrusions (DXF only) Added "-errlog:<file> AND "-wrgtoerrlog" ARGS TO "extraArgs" OPTIONS No details provided by programmer Added NETSPECIFICPLUS mode TO "import | autoLayerSelect" Options Mode This mode allows adding other layers to the netspecific set through the use of "import | layerList" and "import | layerListCount" options. v1.05 08/14/2015ADD EXTRACTION SECTIONThis section currently includes all nets but will later be used to specify a subnet of nets selected. Fixed "LoadNetexgLibrary" Error Messages No details provided by programmer v1.04 07/20/2015Force ODB IMPORT output to all be in working directoryv1.04 03/12/2015Remove Short Filename Execution CallsNo Details provided Bug Fix for OEM Key File Path with spaces ... programmer'r notes: The argument "-acsp:<oemkeyfile>" was passed to netexgmgr executable without having been quoted. This has now been fixed. |
