Skill file menu for hotfix SPB16.60.055

Hi all,

Recently I have updated to latest hotfix SPB16.60.055 to my tool Orcad PCB Designer Professional 16.6. After installation of hotfix there were lots of changes in Menu bar and I didn't find the skill files which I had set in menu bar before hotfix installation. Anyone faced same issue? Where can I find out the menu file which can be user edited and skill file path's can be added?

Regards,

Shiva.

    menu.zipOrCAD introduced a new menu structure in hotfix S051 that changed the menu structure. This makes the menu more intuitive. If you want to change back look under Display - Use Legacy menu option. Editing filename.men files is not a good option anyway because when menus change you need to redo the menu. Look at the attached skill file that can be put in your skill location and loaded via the allegro.ilinit file. This way regardless of the .men file that is used your used defined menu is always loaded.
