    Hi Dave,

     Thnx for the reply..

    I tried the steps which u mentioned n copied the logoMaker_public.il file inside the pcb\skill folder(defined under Allegro_Site). Then i added  load("logoMaker_public.il")   inside the allegro.ilinit file, but i am facing the following error

    Skill > logomaker
    E- *Error* toplevel: undefined variable - logomaker
    nil

     

    n this is the 1st time i`m working with skill....Should i set any other path...

    Thnx....

    Nearly there... 

    You should type logomaker in the command console - not the Skill console.

    Cheers, Dave
