Errors using Artwork batch command after update?

thewill2live

Hey guys,

A while back I made a skill script that calls the artwork.exe batch command to output artwork files for a board. The script would run something like the following line:

axlRunBatchDBProgram("artwork" "artwork -f ASSY -f LAYER01 -f FAB -f LAYER03 -f LAYER04 -f LAYER02 BoardName.brd")

This had run fine for many months and then our office just updated to Allegro 16.6-2015 S068 and now we're seeing errors from this command. After running it, the return value is 1 and we see the following message in the console:

E- (SPMHGE-268): artwork had errors, use Viewlog to review the log file.

The logfile window pops up asking you to pick out a logfile and there's no errors written in the logfile. Artwork files were all created perfectly fine, it's just a recurring false error that pops up. Has anyone else noticed this? Any idea how to work around it?

  • So I ran your suggestion eDave, and it worked, then I set out to figure out why that worked but nothing else does. And removing the noUnload option still lets it run fine, removing the logfile option is what marks the border between working and not working. Now the only question I have is why? Haha But thanks for the help eDave!
