This require a little explanation.
At work we have floating licenses for Allegro HDL, recently upgraded to 17.2.
I generally work on projects from my Windows 7 pc but a colleague uses various Linux computers to access the same projects.
So far everything went (more or less smoothly).
A few months ago I created a new project, including the schematics, exported to PCB and placed the board. When the board was almost ready to go to manufacturing, the colleague decided to optimize some stuff, including replacing some capacitors using the Edit > Global Update > Global Component Change... function.
I think this broke something for me because now I can no longer open the schematics: when I do I immediately get an error window saying
"There was 1 warning while reading XXX.dcf file. See XXX_dcf_read.log for details.
Then the software crashes and I need to close it from task manager.
The content of the log file is
=============================
Problems encountered while reading "P:\cad\designs\XXX\sch_1\XXX.dcf" Read: Wed Feb 14 17:58:07 2018
-----------------------------
Warning: Attribute "CDS_DI_CONTROL_MASK" is not defined. Failed to create "CDS_DI_CONTROL_MASK" attribute for object Design "XXX"
The DCF file is present in the sch_1 folder and I have access (rwx) to it so it is not a permission problem.
I should also mention that I can open the file with no issues from a Linux computer, so it seems to me that there is a problem with a PATH not being defined correctly but, as much as I looked into this, I could not locate the issue.
Can anyone provide some guidance as to what has gone wrong? Any tip on files or paths to check would be really welcome.
