Where to setup shape path in Pad Designer

MartinDude

I need to tell Pad designer the path to my shapes directory.

I cant find this under setup-->user preferences-->paths

I have tried to add this line to my env file

set padpath = I:\allegro\shapes

but it still doesnt show my shapes.

Pad designer - no shapes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is there somewhere else this path is setup?

thanks

    Set your psmpath to  I:\allegro\shapes . That should sort you out.
