How to DIRECTLY run tcl script in batch mode for ASC?

Gelzone
Gelzone 3 months ago

I have created tcl script for OrCAD Capture before.

The code I wrote can easily called via "capture myProc.tcl" in the cmd window (not the command window inside OrCAD) if I have already put my tcl script in the capAutoLoad folder.

But for Allegro System Capture (ASC), I can't just type "syscap myProc.tcl" to run the tcl procedure.

I must open ASC manually and type my procedure name in the myProc.tcl.

It works though, I still want to make the whole process more smooth just like OrCAD Capture. 

I don't need any redundant steps.

    Thanks, it works.

    But I would like to know where to find this solution?

    I only have "scap_tcl_comms.pdf" and can't find any information about the command.
