BOM, NETLIST GENERATION USING COMMAND PROMPT

Hello,

open schematic in orcad capture and run the netlister: you will see tyhe command running in console.

This is what i have done.

Now i can run this command from command window (dos cmd): (replace <xxxx> by your values)

pstswp.exe -pst -d <your_design.DSN> -n <oath of output netlist directory> -c < your allegro.cfg file> -v <number of version file to retain> -l <maximum length of device/net/pin name>

I guess you need to have a orcad capture licence available in order to run this communard.

The bom extraction seem to not show the command running behind in console.

Thanks for your response. is the above command only for netlist and not for BOM?

Only for netlist:. I do not know how to extract bom without openeng capture

When I run the netlister, i successfully got like the format u mentioned in your reply like, pstswp.exe -pst -d <your_design.DSN> -n <oath of output netlist directory> -c < your allegro.cfg file> -v <number of version file to retain> -l <maximum length of device/net/pin name> which i mentioned in the above image.

But i dont understand what is mean by  (dos cmd): (replace <xxxx> by your values).

Can you explain briefly?

Or can you tell how i should run this command in my windows command prompt?

I always run this command in the dsn file location.

Let say tour dsn ffle is my_scheamtic.dsn

Let say you have an -my_netlist directory and want the netlist written at this location.

Let say you have a config file  D:\myconfig\allegro.cfg

Let say you wish to retain the 3 last version of netlist

Let say you use long names in schematic. The amximum caracter length is 255

Open a cmd window (a dos terminal) and go into schematic location.

the command to type in dos command window to extract netlist will be

pstswp.exe -pst -d my_scheamtic.dsn -n my_netlist -c D:\myconfig\allegro.cfg -v 3 -l 255

Thanks for your reply and it is very helpful.

Thanks for your reply and it is very helpful.

 One more query is it possible to generate netlist file of format orWirelist64.dll in command prompt?

I have a try in capture: seems it does not run an external command, so no, you have to open capture to extract such netlist.

Do you know how to generate orWirelist64.dll using TCL scripts by any chance?

I found this link for generating BOM using TCL scripts.

https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/pcb-design/25029/how-to-generate-a-bom-from-orcad-using-a-tcl-script

No, sorry: never use TCL scripts.

To extract netlist, you have yo open dsn file into capture.

Tools->create netlist

Other tab

the dll in located here in Formaters

I usually do this steps to extract netlist in orWirelist64.dll format, but thinking of automating the process. That is why i imposed this question
