How to Upgrade and DB doctor for all 1500 parts of PCB footprints from 16.2 to 17.2

The uprev command has the -b option which allows multiple files and/or directories

The documentation explains the various options...

Hi David, thanks for immediate response,

Could you please explain more about procedure like where I can find the "uprev" option or do I need to enter on "command window"

Uprev is an external stand-alone command that you run from a "command window

I just noticed in 17.x it has been renamed to 'allegro_uprev'

for example I just created the folder c:\temp\symbols & dumped the libraries from a design into it,

then ran:

C:\Temp\symbolh> allegro_uprev -b 

it ran dbdoctor on every file in the folder & generated uprev.log, below is the bottom of that file:

C:\Temp\symbols>tail -20 uprev.log
_28mmx_85mm.pad success.
_2mmx_8mm.pad success.
_4mmx_9mm.pad success.

C:\Temp\symbols>

I ran command D:\Raam\Raam_LIB\Allegro> allegro_uprev -b. it did not worked

then I found the "allegro_uprev.exe" at C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\bin and copied it to my library D:\Raam\Raam_LIB\Allegro. then ran the exe file from library folder. still did not worked

then I entered command to run D:\Raam\Raam_LIB\Allegro\allegro_uprev.exe still not working.

Go to  D:\Raam\Raam_LIB\Allegro> and run allegro_uprev.exe -b and that should do it.
