How do you use allegro_uprev to update .dra padstacks, etc.? I need to update my library, and using DBdoctor is a little tedious.

Hi,

I am trying to update my library for newer design and using DBdoctor to update .dra and padstack is tedious. How can I use allegro_uprev for this? Looking for documentation and examples for the same. 

Thanks,

Nilanjan

    DB Doctor, allegro_uprev supports wild cards so you can browse to a DRA file in the library folder, edit the filename value to end "\*.dra", then repeat that for compiled symbols, "\*.?sm" and finally the pad files, "\*.pad" and all of the files in the folder with those types will be updated.
