ODB++ Inside gen_fs2001 error When Exporting Compressed Database

l3hrbonini

When I try to run ODB++ inside and select .tgz as the output, all of the ODB++ database output files are dumped to the active directory and I get a "gen_fs2001 error" pop-up and the process can't proceed.  I've generated ODB++ packages on this computer before, so not sure what's changed.  Gerbers generate just fine.  I tried re-installing ODB++ Inside, but that didn't make a difference.  Anyone else know of this error and how to correct it?

    You didn't supply enough information to help debug your issue...

    what version of Allegro are you using ( I just tested this with 16.6 & 17.4 ) & which version of ODB++ Inside do you have ( Version 11.1 works fine for me )

    OrCAD PCB version is 17.2-2016 S067.  I also tried it with 17.4 and got the same error.  ODB++ Inside is the latest version, 11.1.  I completely uninstalled everything this morning and did a fresh reinstall, but am still getting the same error.

    Check with the cadence default board or some other board whether you are getting the same error. Make sure the artwork films are created correctly and then create odb++. If the issue persists check with your software provider once.
