hi,

im new in skill.

need to include a createDir and call it from custom menu in Allegro.

Created createDir.il file and placed a code below: added menu to point in the directory with createDir.il, but when clicking on the menu item getting E- Command not found: createDir

/* createDir("./NewDir") ./ is relative path with current working directory
*/
procedure (_createDIr()
createDir("./NewDir1")
printf("NewDir1 was created\n" )
)

thanks for help

    Im loading extra menu as dynamic menu, I have two other skill files are working, and two scripts replay work fine. I have this in allegro.ilinit ; Create Dir Skill 8.1
    ;Allegro Command(s) = createDir
    load("createDir.il")

    skill _createDir() ;added your suggestion but didn't work

    ;Dynamic menus for Allegro - New 16.6 SKILL Function "axlUIMenuInsert"
    load("Dynamic_Menus.il") and this in Dynamic_Menus.il file :MENU = '(
    (popup "APPs")
    ("FAB Output" "replay FAB_OUT") ;this one is working
    ("Plot All Layers" "replay Plot_PDF") ;this one is working
    ("Change Net on VIA" "change_vianet") ;this one is working
    ("Create folder in current working directory-prototype)" "createDir") ;this one doesnt work
    )
