Disable v17.2 Start Page

melview1

Hi,

I just updated from OrCAD PCB Editor  v17.2 S001 to v17.2 S038.  According to the documentation, the new Start Page was added in S031.  How can I turn this off?  I know how to do it in Capture, but can't find out how to do it in PCB Editor.

Thanks.

    Setup - User Preferences - Ui - Startpage - and check allegro_no_startpage then restart

    Close Capture and go to a File Explorer window, type %HOME% into the address bar followed by a return. then go to cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\17.2.0. In here is a file called spinfo.ini, open this with a text editor and at the bottom change EnableStartPage=true to EnableStartPage=false. Then save and restart Capture

    FWIW, if I do that, my spinfo.ini file only contains a 'Recent File List'.  No configuration options to change.

    The ini file that Capture loads at startup, in my case C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SPB_Data\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture/17.2.0/capture.ini, does contain "EnableStartPage=True", doesn't seem to honor it if changed to 'False'.

    I'm running v17.2-2016 S038 [4/15/2018] (a little outdated I see).
