Running brd2odb using command line with suppress shape option

GIL2004XP over 13 years ago

I have managed to run brd2odb using command line but I cannot add the option (-s[uppress]) ) to suppress shapes on specific layers.

How do you add the quoted-semicolon-delimited_list in the command line? Im using odb++Inside version 7.6.7

My code is written below;

Command = sprintf(Command, "%s/brd2odb -gui -d -lp %s -a2l -c p -jn %s -jp %s -gz -sf -v14_thermals -read_sqa no -tr_sym no -ssfs f -p s -pst r -skip_refdes no -sp -bb %s", env_var, board_path, odb_outname, odb_path, full_path)
axlRunBatchDBProgram("Export ODB", Command, ?noUnload t ?noProgress nil)

sprintf should follow the "C" convention of escaping delimiters with a backslash so \" in the sprintf string will mean "literally a double quote"

Thanks for your reply, gave me a hint but I found out that adding a double quote is not enough to do the job.
Not sure why but I managed to make it work by adding semicolons on the beginning & at the end of the string like this ";L2_GND;L5_GND;"
