Put CurrentDesign Name in a variable

Yann00
Yann00 over 12 years ago

Hi Guys,

I wanna put the current design name in a variable, then open another design, and after re-open the first design just with my variable.

I tried:

(procedure CurrentDesign()
p = axlCurrentDesign()
axlOpenDesignForBatch("essai.dra" "wf")
axlSaveDesign()
  n = strcat(p ".brd")
  axlOpenDesignForBatch("n" "wf")
)

But my variable seems to be re-evaluated by the second design. I wanna just open my first design with my p (i.e: The name of my first design).

Best regards
