PCB Artwork Directory??

split63

When using Allegro PCB, how can I specify the path for the generated artwork?  Currently it just dumps the artwork files in the Design directory, whereas I would like the artwork to go to a sub folder

 .../design_directory/artwork/

     Setup - User Preferences - File_management - Output_dir. Set a value for ads_sdart like artwork or outputs.

     I searched in there and never found that...thanks so much.

     

    One thing, it does not seem to be design specific.  For example, if I set the parameter for Board A, when I start Board B, its has the same setting.  If I set the parameter for Board B, Board A is changed also.

     Correct, it's a default system setting and not design specific. Use something like output or artwork then under each design you have you will have that directory. Another useful thing can be the artwork prefix and suffix. Ideal for jobname- and -issueX so your artwork films can be similar, TOP, BOTTOM, GND, SSTOP etc but use the prefix and suffix per jobname.
