I am in the process of moving from Allgro Entry CIS 16.5 to 16.6. So far things look good for the switch over with the exception of being able to view footprints of my parts. I have editited the Capture.ini file to include the correct path, but it still will not locate the footprints.
I have changed the lines in the .ini to read the following:
[Footprint Viewer Type]
Type=Allegro
[Allegro Footprints]
Dir0=C:\Cadence\Library\PCB Footprints
I have even tried to copy the 16.5 version of the .ini to the 16.6 to see if it would work....which it does not.
Why is there no option withing the CIS tool to change these paths?
In looking through some previous posts on here I have seen refernce to a CIS.ini editor/tool. can some one point me to that tool to try?
