    Hi Eric,

    Yes - through your ilinit file.

    Cheers, Dave

     thanks dave. but i cannot find any allegro.ilinit file, all i have found is example.ilinit located at C:Cadence/Allegro15.7/share/local/pcb/skill. is that the one? i copied the skill programs there but when i  try loading them "command not found" appears in the command line. thanks for the help.

     

    regards,

    eric

    Hi,

    Skill support in Allegro PCB Design L tiers are limited to load at startup. So you cannot load them while inside a PCB Editor session.

    You can use the attached allegro.ilinit inside your pcbenv directory, make sure to open the file in a text editor and change the first line to a path for your skill files - remember to use forward slashes

    Best regards,

    Ole

    Performance L does not have this restriction.

    Hi,

    Yes, you are correct, sorry for not clarifying this good enough.

    This limitation is in OrCAD PCB packages and Allegro PCB Design CIS/HDL L

    - limitation is NOT IN Allegro PCB Performance Option L

     

    Best regards,

    Ole
