Placing mechanical parts for not found

ClydeS
ClydeS over 8 years ago

When I try to place a mechanical part from "Place > Mechanical Symbol > Mechanical Symbol", I get the following messages:

E-Can't find window; form.plc_manual"

E-Form not found.

This DID work recently, but doesn't work now. What could I have changed to make this happen. More importantly, how can it be fixed??

    "Where" the forms appear is stored in the "allegro.geo" file (in the "Home"\pcbenv directory). If you were using multiple monitors, it's possible that the location of the form was stored for a "no longer present" screen, or may have been corrupted. Delete the allegro.geo file when PCB Editor isn't running and then start PCB Editor again and see if that helps.
