Hi, our team uses both capture cis and system capture issue is when we work on capture cis the capture.inin gets reset. We want method to have both tool map libraries different places and not same file.

    You can have CDS_SITE setup and can place capture.ini there inside cdssetup folder. Also, you need to have certain directive inside site.cpm inside projmgr folder. You can refer following article on Cadence ASK portal:

    Article (20491218) Title: How to configure Allegro Design Entry CIS (OrCAD Capture CIS) libraries with Allegro System Capture
    URL: https://ask.cadence.com/ASK/article-viewer?id=a1O3w000009xxGVEAY&pageName=article-viewer

    Also, I would suggest you use batch file which has CDS_SITE variable set to launch System Capture.
