Help with "E- *Error* axlFormBuildPopup"

I've downloaded the skill script "align_sym.il" and I added it to my skill directory and updated my allegro.ilinit file like I do my other skill scripts that I download from Cadence. However this skill script is giving me major problems. Everytime I run it I get the following message "E- *Error* axlFormBuildPopup: argument #1 should be any user-defined (other) type (type template = "otl") - nil". I tried Cadence support first, but they have no clue how to fix it. Can someone here help me figure out what the problem is?

 Thanks,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I don't know the SKILL language so I need some help debugging this. What line/function defines where the form needs to be saved? Can we hard code in a directory to save the forms in? Maybe it's trying to use one of my windows environment variable to give it a location, but that variable doesn't exist so it then starts saving it to a place where I have no write access.
