BOM, NETLIST GENERATION USING COMMAND PROMPT

Shanmugi over 3 years ago

Hi,

I am working on project where I need to generate Netlist and BOM from command prompt without opening ORCAD.

As I am new to ORCAD, it would be heplful if somebody help me on the same.

I have read previous blogs and post regarding this, but it is unhelpful for me.

Kindly tell me some better and efficient way to do this.

Thanks for helping me in advance!

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

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.
