Allegro shell command

Cadencer
Cadencer over 4 years ago

Hi!

I have a trouble with the Allegro. I wonder how to use the Allegro command in skill code.

Specifically, I want to open a brd.file through a skill file.il.

Is there a command to open a brd.file through a skill code?

Another question is, can I use a shell for the Allegro?

I want to put commands in a shell like skill.il. I hope that through I do not directly put commands in the Allegro, I could give the Allegro commands.

Best regards

Thank you!

    Regarding your first question - look at the documentation for the function axlOpenDesign()
