    Hi Juriv.

    Your "set techpath = D:/.../TechFiles". only tells Allegro where to look for a technology file but it does not mean that the technology file will be auto loaded when you launch allegro or create a new blank PCB board file.

    To use your tech file you have to load it manually. Go to file import > Tech file, select the file you want and click import. This will import your tech file. You can also import the technology file in the Constraint Manager too. Open the CM and choose file import technology file.

    FYI the technology file only contains the physical stackup of your board.

    Hope this helps you out ..
