Exporting variants.lst through tcl or automation

PatEscher
PatEscher over 1 year ago

Hello, 

is there any way to export the variants.lst file through either tcl code, a command or any other utility, so that we can automate this process?
as of today, this has to be done manually through the Part Manager UI, and this is quite error prone as the users are missing this a lot and the variants.lst is either then not available or not up to date in Allegro

Thanks

Patrick

    perfect, that works like a charm with the design I tried.

    can you elaborate on what SetAutomationFlag does and is used for?

    Great that it worked for you to generate variants.lst using TCL.
    SetAutomationFlag command is used to suppress the confirmation message or information message box.

    Hope this helps!

    Does this  work for all kind of boxes?
    Is it only for a box showing such a confirmation/information message or can it be used for other boxes,so saying that the 'OK' button is always pressed?
