    I don't think you can do this from a windows command window, but you should be able to write a script that invokes capture, opens the design & then generate the netlist

    This is what i do.

    In windows cmd just type

    pstswp.exe -pst -d <your_dsn_name.dsn> -n allegro -c <your path to config file>/allegro.cfg -v 3 -l 255

    -v 3 is verning number for .dat files (,1 ,2 ,3)

    -l 255 is to indicate that name length limit is 255 intead of 31 wihch is default.
