Problem with linking HOME path to env file in pcbenv

$

Hi,

I got a problem with the envpath in Allegro 16.6. I'm using a custom env file located on the D:\ drive. For example D:\...\Users\michiel\pcbenv\env This means that the HOME path is: D:\...\Users\michiel

Now I tried to copy this to a computer of a colleague, but I accidentally put the HOME path towards D:\...\Users\michiel\pcbenv. Now allegro makes a pcbenv folder inside the pcbenv folder: D:\...\Users\michiel\pcbenv\pcbenv

After I found out I made this mistake, I tried to put the env file in the ...\pcbenv\pcbenv folder. After starting Allegro I got an error about missing a file 'allegro_smi_modules.txt'. It meant that the path was too long.

Then I changed the HOME path as it should be towards D:\...\Users\michiel

Now the real problem starts! I can start Allegro, but Allegro isn't seeing my env file. When I open Allegro / Tools / Utilities / Env Variables I see the following thing:

  • set  envpath      = D:/.../Users/michiel/pcbenv/pcbenv C:/Cadence/SPB_16.6/share/pcb/text

As you can see there is an extra pcbenv. For some reason it keeps adding pcbenv two times instead of one. I even changed to HOME path to just the C:\ drive and later on changing it back to the env file located on the D:\ drive. This didn't solve the problem!

Question: how can I fix this envpath problem? Do I need to delete the HOME path or even reinstall all of Allegro?

BR,

Michiel
