Design Sync Layout Folder

TpermanLuma
TpermanLuma over 1 year ago

I am trying to configure the design sync between my .DSN design in Allegro Design Entry CIS and layout in Allegro PCB Editor, to allow the Update Layout... functionality to be used

In the 'Design Sync Setup' menu, accessed from PCB-> Design Sync Setup you specify the Layout Folder. I have tried to set this to the allegro subfolder in my project directory, but it keeps reverting to allegro\allegro. In other words another subfolder inside the allegro folder and not the folder where the .BRD is stored. Is this configured from somewhere else?

    Allegro uses environment variables to define paths. Ensure that the environment variables related to layout folders are set correctly. You can check this by going to File -> Export -> Design Sync and then navigating to the Paths tab.
