trying to load a .olb librray file

digital1

Hi All 

I have created this script to create a .olb library and save the library.unfortunately it doesnt load it into Project Manager under libraries

# Get the active Capture Dbo session
set lSession $::DboSession_s_pDboSession
DboSession -this $lSession

# Create a status object
set lStatus [DboState]

# Set the library name
set lNewLibName [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString]
DboTclHelper_sSetCString $lNewLibName "test_library.olb"

# Create the library object
set lNewLib [$lSession CreateLib $lNewLibName $lStatus]
set lSaveStatus [$lSession SaveLib $lNewLib]

#this now removed the library from the design and removed the lock on the library
$lSession RemoveLib $lNewLib

What i want is the code that will load this .olb library into project manager window in orcad capture

    Hi  ,

    After creating and saving the .olb, you can try loading it into the Project Manager using the same GUI Open method used for loading a DSN:

    Open {C:/path/to/test_library.olb}

    This should allow the library to be opened through the Capture GUI and shown in the Project Manager.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi  

    Sorry I didn't make myself clear i have already created a dsn project and i want to load the .opj file into the design under the project window unfortunately your answer loaded the .olb file into a differnt session than my original design.

    What I am doing is converting a kicad schematic into orcad this is so i can import Altium Binary mentor graphics binary cad star and a few others Im starting with the schematic and then i will be doing the pcb thsi will be useful as kicad can convert a gerber into a pcb file you then have to load the components.

    But i do appreciate the help thank you
