NCDPATH bug

archive
archive over 19 years ago

Hello All. In SPB15.7, I have a problem with NCDPATH: the environnement variable NCDPATH is set (since a long time) to dot (.) and another common path on the network where we store our default nc_param.txt file. on the . path (the physical board path), there is no nc_param.txt at the beginning. So the common file is read and then copier to . If you change it locally then "." file is read and not anymore the common file. Since SPB15.7, the default path is not read anymore. It creates a new one in . with wrong params (true in fact but not what we want). I tried to remove the first . (dot) path and the the common network path is used. So it seems that only one path of the NCDPATH is taken, the first one. Did somebody see a similar thing? Thanks.

    Solved.

    In fact we use a script to generate the drill legend before running nctape command.
    This script was OK in 15.5.1 and before. But now when it runs, it creates a nc_param.txt wit two lines:
    DRILLING LAYER-PAIR
    BACKDRILL NO
    It seems these lines are informations needed to fill the legend (and it's new in 15.7)

    So I solved the problem by running the ncdrill param command at the beginning of the script.
    This makes that the default nc_params.txt file is copier to "." and like it already contains these two lines, it works.
