setup of Valor ODB++ Inside

archive

OK, it's snowing like crazy, so I decided to install the Valor ODB plugin. HOWEVER, I cannot figure out where (and how) to set the Allegro_brd2odb environment variable.  I "am" the administrator, but not versed well in these special setups.  Any help out there?

  • On windows XP system,

    Select Mycomputer, Right mouse button click, go to properties, jump to advanced. Here you can click on environmental variables and set your Allegro_brd2odb under system variables. Allegro should do that automatically when u install by going to Allegro menu File>export>ODB option.

    My variable now reads Allegro_brd2odb = C:\Valor\ODB++Inside

    Try this and this should help you.

    Good Luck!!
