FanySkill installation instructions For Allegro version 16.617.2

1. Course introduction:

FanySkill integrates more than 20 Skill functions that assist designers to improve work efficiency when using Allegro software for PCB design. It includes packaging production, PCB layout, PCB wiring and other functions that are likely to be used in the PCB design process. Most of the content of Skill is open source content shared by netizens or shared encrypted Skill. The source code content of this tool is completely open to the majority of users, which can facilitate users to learn Skill content and customize Skill tools independently. Learners can not only use this tool To improve your work efficiency, you can also DIY your own set of skill tools.



2. Why develop this skill?

① Designers who use Allegro software for PCB design and development can greatly improve their design efficiency and reduce engineers' design time by using Skill tools for some operations during design. However, generally PCB designers are hardware engineers and do not understand software programming content. I don’t have the energy or time to learn Skill programming, so I provide a set of Skill codes and record an introductory video to Skill programming for everyone to learn from.

② The Skill tools currently installed and used by engineers are basically encrypted and packaged. Engineers can only use their functions in one direction, and cannot edit them or customize functions by themselves.

③ In order to meet daily operations, engineers may install multiple Skills. Sometimes in order to use a function in a Skill tool, a Skill must be installed on the computer, resulting in multiple functions in the Skill tool duplicating the content of other tools and redundant software installation. remaining situation.



3. What problems can it help you solve?

1) Solve the dilemma of Allegro EDA engineers using multiple sets of Skill tools to improve work efficiency.

2) Provides more than 20 commonly used Skills to help engineers improve design efficiency.

3) Help hardware developers understand the introductory knowledge of Skill programming and help them master the general methods of Skill development.

4) It is convenient for engineers to DIY their own skill tools and improve their design passion.
