Access ORCAD command window using windows command prompt

Shanmugi

Hi,

I need to access the ORCAD's command window without opening ORCAD from windows command prompt (usually run the TCL scripts in orcad command window), but trying to run the tcl scripts in windows command prompt.

Is there a way to access it externally.

Kindly help me on the same.

Thanks for your help in advance!

    Did you ever come up with a solution? I am facing a similar problem but have not come up with a solution for this. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi AB_1717543042707,

    Please go to the loaction C:\Cadence\SPB_22.1\tools\capture\tclscripts (if you have installed SPB_22.1) and open the pdf file OrCAD_Capture_TclTk_Extensions.pdf

    On page no-44("4.2 Script and Usage") you will find the information about the script run in standalone TCL Shell.  

    Hope this helps!
