Need help running a Skill

archive
archive over 17 years ago

I am trying to create a Fabmaster file.  I downloaded the "cds2f.il" skill file and it worked.  I have since been playing with my env file and now it will not work.  It creates the "t.bat" and the "cds2f.txt" but then it stops.  What I figured out so far is the "t.bat" wants to run "Extracta", which requires a brd name, but it cannot find the brd.  Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

    Delete t.bat and run cds2f.il again.

    I'm new to Skill and I'm trying to run this same file.

    I have allegro.ilinit and cds2f.il in C:\Cadence\SPB_16.01\share\pcb\etc\skill. In my allegro.ilinit file, I have only one line which reads "load (cds2f.il)" (without the quotes). When I start Allegro, I get an error that reads "E- *Error* load: argument #1 should be a string (type template = "t") - nil".

    Can you guys help me out ?

    When I type "load ("cds2f.il")", I get an error saying "E- Command not found: load (cds2f.il)".

    My license is for 'Performance option L'. Can I run Skill files ?

    Hi,

    Simply type
    load ("cds2f.il")

    Don't put double qoutes before load command.
