The input file for tap standard is an ordinary text file in a simple language based on the general TIL format. This language has only one statement type (TAP) that may be repeated any number of times.
Note: Existing tap object, __SBH_TAP_CTRL__, will be replaced when the function is used.
The statements need not be in any particular order and there may be more than one TAP statement for the same standard type in one file. However, in that case the last statement for a particular standard type will overwrite all previous taps of the same type. that means, in the tap object, one TAP type occurs only once.
Syntax:
|
TAP, <type> /A=<dimA> /B=<dimB> [/R=<rad>] [/FONT_NO=<font> /SYMBOL=<symb>]; |
Description:
|
<type> |
An integer number representing the type of a certain TAP. |
|
/A /B /R |
Dimensions describing the geometry of the resulting tap. R may be left out and will then be interpreted as if no radii should be used. (for further information, see the figure below) |
|
/FONT_NO |
An integer number representing the font where to find the symbol that will be presented in symbolic views |
|
/SYMBOL |
An integer representing the symbol number within FONT_NO that will be presented in symbolic views |
FONT_NO and SYMBOL may be excluded. If excluded, the standard symbol number 105 in symbol font 8 will be used.
FONT_NO and SYMBOL must, when given, always occur together, that means, only FONT_NO or only SYMBOL will not be accepted.
