17.4 compatibility warning

mgallman1

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the warning screen that pops up every time i open a board in 17.4?  I have compatibility mode for 17.2 turned on and I have to close this window every time.  It would be nice if you could just turn that window off.  You would think if you set it to 17.2 mode that it would recognize that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    Is there really no solution/response to this?

    These warning messages even come up when opening files using axlOpenDesignForBatch when using the mode "wf"

    Thank you very much Steve!

    I searched through several folders in User Preferences, but drawing was not obvious to me. I even searched for "warning" and "suppress", I think I even tried "revi" but didn't back it down to "rev."

    This does stop the message when opening a .dra directly in Allegro, so I assume it will also suppress the message when using axlOpenDesignForBatch, but will report back if that is not true.

    Thanks again
