Launching executable Program through SKILL

ichliebedich
ichliebedich over 5 years ago

Hi all,

I'd like to launch programs through SKILL code on PCB environment

for example, if I want to launch the padstack, with which function can I launch the program padstack.exe?

(the path is, C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\bin\padstack_editor.exe )

regards,

    I figured it out to run program with SKILL code used 'system' function

    if I want to run the program padstack, just put in the SKILL code below

    system("padstack_editor")

    but problem is only thing that Allegro PCB fall in pending till exit the padstack..

    so Does anyone know about running program with background? (two process parallelly)
