Can't generate netlist for pcb editor (allegro 16.0)

archive

Hi!

My company recently bought a license of PCB Designer that includes the Capture and the Allegro PCB Designer.

My problem is that I'm trying to generate the 3 output files for the PCB Designer, in the PCB Editor tab of the Netlist command in Capture...when I enter the Setup dialog and select the configuration file, I press Edit and then an error message box arises telling me that "O parâmetro é incorrect" (in english, something like "The parameter is incorrect"). Then nothing happens :(

I've already worked a lot with Orcad Layout and never got this kind of problem and that makes me wonder if it isn't just a matter related to my license.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

    Hello I ran into a very similar issue trying to generate a netlist for allegro. In my case the issue was related to running capture v16.6 on windows 7.

    By default when capture is installed it is not configured to be run as an Administrator

    Try this either right click on the capture Icon and select run as an administrator to launch the program or change the properities of the icon so that capture always runs as an administrator. I had to do this too for the 16.5 ver of capture.

    Hope that helps Scott.
