Display project pulse version in SYSCAP title block and in pcb editor.

Hi,

I am using Allegro X 24.1; System Capture, PCB Editor and are saving both schematic project and layout in Pulse.

I want to display which pulse commit I am looking at on my schematic title block - I have been doing this in other software that has revision handling and it is very practical both during actual design work and when sharing and discussing projects to know which version are currently shown.

It seems like it should be a simple enough variable to fetch from the system with something like $PulseVersion or similar.

I have done my own workaround by creating my own custom variable called PulseVersion and then run this TCL "script":

modifyCustomVar -name "PULSEVERSION" -type "Project Defined" -value "[dict get [dict get [pulse::getVersionDetails] Attributes] displayRevision]"

It will return current pulse version like "1.0" or "4.2" or "1.33.7" depending on your current commit version.

But its a manual step that in my opinion should be automatically updated when commiting. Has anyone found a better way?

I would love to have a similar solution in pcb editor also, but have not even managed to do a manual workaround in there yet :/

Best Regards
