Setup RAVEL

comet

Hi Guys,

I couldn't run RAVEL under Allegro PCB Designer Manufacture tab. It prompted "Environment Variable DFM_RAV_PATH is not set. Please set it to the correct path and try again."

Please let me know how. 

Thanks!  ;-)

    Hi,

    Please set your DFM_RAV_PATH to c:/cadence/spb_17.2/share/pcb/dfm_ravel or c:/cadence/spb_16.6/share/pcb/dfm_ravel (based on where your Cadence installation folder is) and try again.

    Thanks,
    Bindu

    Please type the following in your Allegro Command Window (assuming you are using Allegro 17.2 and Cadence installation directory is c:/cadence):

    set dfm-rav_path c:/cadence/spb_17.2/share/pcb/dfm_ravel

    Thanks,
    Bindu
