How to place an Off page on a schematic through command?

honey1

I am trying to place the Offpage on a schematic page through Placeoffpage command

i.e PlaceOffPage(x, y, libName, symbolName, OffPageName)

Command i am writing is PlaceOffPage 3.0 4.0 D:/proj/lib/Inductors/olb/INDUCTOR.OLB VCC MyOffPage

I am getting the following error message : ERROR(ORCAP-1687): Macro Player. unable to place object.

In command window I get : Command Failed. Reason: Invalid Path or Invalid Argument(s).

I've tried different path formats but it doesn't work for me. 

Any solution to this problem?

    Try taking a look at the documentation, according to that, the variables for library name, symbol name and name (to assign) should all be within double quotes, also the library name uses the "Windows" directory delimiter "\".

    Well that is not the issue. There is no need to write the arguments within double quotes. I found the solution and it worked,I was giving the wrong Symbol name, I tried the symbol name OFFPAGELEFT-L and OFFPAGELEFT-R and it worked for me. We can get the symbol name from the library cache of any off page. Thanks for your reply. :)
