Help with "E- *Error* axlFormBuildPopup"

statz

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,

    OK so the easy fix that I use to make the align_sym script work is to change it from

     frmfle = outfile("align_sym.form")

    to

    frmfle = outfile("./align_sym.form")

    However I'd still like to understand why my allegro.ilinit file isn't working properly. I've tried putting the set skill path line at the very beginning of my allegro.ilinit file and it still doesn't work.
