Using scriptpath

aricbeaver

Hi,

Before updating to 16.6, the "Setup > User Preferences > Paths > Config > scriptpath" seemed to work fine when using "File > Script... > Library... > 'select file' > Replay". Now the file still shows up in the "Library..." list via the "scriptpath" configuration but when "Replay" is clicked the following error occurs:

"E - File does not exist: <filename>"


Why is this? The file is most definitely exists in the "scriptpath".

Thanks,

Aric

    Hi , i thing you did not set the path correctly please assign the path in C drive .keep you script file in this below path C:\Cadence\SPB_16.6\share\pcb\text\script

    Thanks for your reply, kabalee.

    We have a custom path directory that is not linked to any specific version of Cadence so placing the file into that directory would not fix the issue. There is a custom path setup via "Setup > User Preferences > Paths > Config > scriptpath" and when clicking the "Library..." button the from the "File > Script..." menu the dialog will find the scripts in the "scriptpath" but upon replaying them PCB Editor prompts that the file does not exist.

    Thanks

    Another thing to add: if you manually browse to the desired script file it will replay just fine, regardless of the "scriptpath" setup.

    What hotfix are you running because this works for me.... The latest is S042. Also are they a mapped network path or unc path ?

    Hi steve,

    I just updated from S038 to S042 but that did not fix the issue. Also, the "scriptpath" is not a network path, it is local. I set the "scriptpath" to "C:\", "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop", etc. but the result is the same.

    Thanks for your help.
