Exporting tech-files in Allegro PCB Editor, Orcad 16.0

Palardy

I'm working on a bunch of .dra symbol drawings, and I have a set of text sizes, units, and color settings that I want to preserve across all of them.

I'm fairly sure that I need to export a .tcf tech file, but when I use file->export-> tech-file, and attempt to export one, it gives me an error: techfile.log does not exist.  If I make an empty techfile.log file, then I will get a message that the export completed with warnings/errors, but it does not store them in the log file or display them in any way that I can find.

Am I going about this the correct way?
