ODB++ Used 9.1 or higher DXF The layer mapping User Interface supports the new embedded subclasses. SKILL All SKILL interfaces that retrieve placement information should work properly with embedded components. This includes SKILL interfaces that manipulate the placement of embedded components axlDBCreateSymbol supports internal placement and the dbid of the symbol must reflect its placement.
