TCL code to annotation in the Capture schematic design

Try using following steps:

1. Enable Journaling and Display Commands from Extended Preferences > Command Shell.
2. Now, select the design file in the project manager and select Tools > Annotate > OK.
3. Copy the xml path from the command window and replace it in the below code in place of the below path.

set lSession $::DboSession_s_pDboSession
DboSession -this $lSession
set lNullObj NULL
set lDesign [$lSession GetActiveDesign]
if { $lDesign != $lNullObj} {
Menu "Tools::Annotate" | DialogBox "OK" "C:/Users/User_data/AppData/Local/Temp/CAPTURELOG/Fri_Aug_16_21_44_02_2024/Packaging_4.xml"
SetAutomationFlag 1
}

Let me know how it goes for you after performing the steps, are you able to annotate the design with TCL?

Hi Rohit,

You can use below tcl to run the annotation in batch mode without any args:

capBatchAnnotate

Second the same command with args:

capBatchAnnotate(nScope, nUpdateType, cstrCombinedProperty, additionalCombinedProperty,
bStartAtOne, bDoNotChangePageNumber,
bChangeInstances, bIncludeNonPrimitive,
bPreserveDesignator, bPreserveUserEdits,
bAnnInstExtDsgn)
Parameters:
nScope: int
nUpdateType: int
cstrCombinedProperty: char const *
additionalCombinedProperty: char const *
bStartAtOne: int
bDoNotChangePageNumber: int
bChangeInstances: int
bIncludeNonPrimitive: int
bPreserveDesignator: int
bPreserveUserEdits: int
bAnnInstExtDsgn: int

An example with args:

capBatchAnnotate 0 1 {{value} {Source Package}{POWER_GROUP}} {} 0 0 1 0 0 0 0

Hope it helps!
