    I just gave an example, standard.clp is what allegro uses as default.

    How is your CLP file called? Otherwise you need to give the full path to the file.  eg. load("c:/user/test.clp")

    Skill > load("D:/working/clp/TI_Top.clp")
    Enter point

    You're welcome!

    btw, did you know that the .clp file is in fact a skill file?

    The "xx percent completed" are just some printf statements.

    Try this, just write some skill code and save the file as .clp.  Then do a file->import->subdrawing.
