Site setting for Drill Chart sizes .DLT

Hi,

I can go into the installation directory and edit the .DLT files to change the drill chart dimensions. Is there a user preference path that can be used to automatically select site generated .DLT files?

This is where the dialog looks: %CDSROOT%\share\pcb\text\nclegend

This is where I want the dialog to look: %CDS_SITE%\pcb\text\nclegend

Thx,

Aric

there is a pull down within Allegro under MANUFACTURING -> NC -> DRILL LEGEND, under the template you get to choose which template you want to use.

stump1019 - I see the template selection but I want to auto populated the "Library" button list using my site.env/CDS_SITE setup

Solution = change "ncdpath" to include CDS_SITE desired directory
set ncdpath = $CDS_SITE/pcb/text/nclegend $CDSROOT/share/pcb/text/nclegend

Two things about this
1) In the User Preference dialog > Paths > Config shows the "ncdpath" is for .txt files not .dlt files, so that threw me for a loop
2) That same dialog states changing the "ncdpath" is effective after command is ran, but it indeed needs a restart (manual configuration, CDS_SITE always requires restart, i.e. changes to pcb/site.env)
