How to start Skill in Orcad PCB editor 16.2

Hi All,

I am using Orcad PCB editor 16.2.  I not getting how to start/load  skill files to PCB editor. I searched in community but things are not clear to me. As per some suggestion I will have to change " allegro.ilinit" file in " pcbenv " folder under installed diretory. But I am not getting allegro.ilinit file and even the "pcbenv" folder.  I found one " env " file under C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.2\share\pcb\text\  path. Is there any thing to change with that?

 Pls let me know what are the setting I need to do ? I got one allegro.ilinit file from the forum, but where to paste that file. I have no idea about this.

Pls give me your valuable guidance.

Thanks,

Prasanna Hegde

    Shiva, thanks for reply..

    still  I am confused due to some things.  When I searched in forum I got  allegro.ilinint file :::::::  in this I changed the path for skill files where I saved all in one folder. Then I started the tool and it was showing  like    ".....  .il file redefined " . I tried to type that command but got error command is not exist.

    Then I tried what you told. finally I got pcbenv folder in local documents directory and loaded what you said.   here is few file i tried.    I removed old alegro.ilinit file what i mentioned above, but still its trying to read same path it seems its giving error. How  does it take the path if we mentioned only file name in .ilinit file?

    pls clarify my doubts..

    Thanks,
