Orcad Capture TCL scripting

Azef

Hi All,

I would like to use Orcad Capture TCL scripting. Before the 1st hotfix of 16.3 the command window in Capture echoed all of the operations performed during the editing session. Also .captcl session script log file was available as it is written in the manual. Since 1st and till the 7th hotfix neither command window echo nor .captcl session script log fileare available, and this was my ultimate source of examples.

What can be done to get both features back? (Apart from uninstalling all of the hotfixes.)

BTW, I use Win7/64 and tried to run Capture as administrator, if this info may help.

Best Regards,

Azef.

    Hi Azef

    I think the logging option was turned off to increase performance.

    If I remember correct you can turn it on again

    1. View->Toolbar->Command Window

    2. In the command window write "SetOptionBool Journaling TRUE"

    Try this out and let me know if it works out for you (NB: You'll probably have a line with that option set to FALSE in your Capture.ini file.)

    Best regards

    For me (version 16.6) , just write "SetOptionBool Journaling TRUE" not enough.
