Hi all,

 Does Orcad PCB editor 16.0 supports skill command. I tried to access skill window but that command doesnot exist. I need to ge cross section of board on fabrication drawing. How to get that.?

I searched in new release of Orcad PCB editor 16.0, they have mentioned about skill codes. but I am not getting that window. This is the first time  I am trying to use skill cod. Is there anything to set before to access that ?

If its not possible in this version, how to get cross section drawing?

 

thanks,

Prasanna

    OrCAD PCB Editor has the capability to run SKILL routines but not author, debug or interactively load SKILL routines.

    SKILL routines need to be "pre-loaded" using an allegro.ilinit file in the pcbenv directory. When started, OrCAD PCB Editor will find the allegro.ilinit file in the pcbenv directory and execute the script contents to load the SKILL files from the specified location. The attached example will need to be edited to match the location of you SKILL routines, note the use of "UNIX" "/" directory delimiters when specifying the path.
