With OrCAD Allegro and a *.dra footprint file I am trying to build myself a document listing all images and footprint data.
When I load a footprint .dra file into Allegro I can see the footprint image and obviously Allegro knows what are the dimensions of that footprint since it can build a PCB with all those footprints. In Allegro there are many Environment Variables (Tools->Utilities->Env.Variables).
Could there be a way to get the values of variables describing my footprint size and other details ?
How do I get those data and print them as text on the footprint window ?
Following that procedure it will be easy for me to grab the PC screen image and build my document with the screen image.
Thanks for your help
