Generate OrCAD Netlist and BOM from Command Line

iWaldo

I'm trying to generate a netlist and BOM from a given OrCAD DSN from the command line (for integration within my version control).

For netlist generation I found (from searching the forums) pstswp.exe. Unfortunately I couldn't find any documentation on this, and it doesn't give any help information from the command line. I'd like to generate a netlist with the orPads2k.dll (as if from the 'other' tab in OrCAD) using pstswp.exe, is this possible? If not is there another way to automate this, using that dll?

For BOM generation I found a few Tcl scripts that generate BOMs.Is there any way to run these scripts without having OrCAD open, from the command line?

Ideally I'd like to generate these two files automatically from the command line at any time, given a DSN.

Thanks!

    TCL Script would be the only way to go. Capture will need to find a valid license, the "Use as default" setting will be used, if set. See Command Line options in the Capture Quick Reference, capqrc.pdf in the doc\capqrc directory of the product installation. In Capture, enable the Journaling to get some idea of what the TCL script will need to contain to launch the processing, Accessories>Cadence Tcl/Tk Utilities>Utilities, Design Utilities, Launch, Command Shell, Journaling, Enable to start recording a journal of your actions to move to a TCL script for later execution.
