Launching *.cpm File in System Capture via Batch File

MZ20250602835

Dear all,

i found the command below to open a cpm File if the project name is available.

syscap -proj <project_name>.cpm

syscap -proj <project_path>/<project_name>.cpm -tclfile <tcl file location>\<tcl_file_name>.tcl -product "<license name>" -nograph

May i ask how could i set the value in order the system capture to find the *.cpm and open it without giving a concrete project name?

Best Regards

Moyan

    Hello,

    *.cpm will not be possible since you can have several cpm file in same <project_path>.

    I have already use such configuration in order to acess different version of same project

    Many thanks for your reply.

    I set a batch file in order to set it:

    @echo off

    setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
    set "projectFolder=%~dp0..\..\..\.."
    for %%I in ("%projectFolder%") do set "projectFolder=%%~fI"
    echo %projectFolder%

    for %%f in ("%projectFolder%\*.cpm") do (
    set "file_list=!file_list! %%~nxf"
    )
    cd %projectFolder%
    echo %file_list%
    %CDSROOT%/tools/bin/syscap -proj %file_list%  -product "PCB_design_studio"
