[PCB_FORUM] Need help to enable cross probing: Allegro and Design_compare

I have a question about Design compare utility.  The other day I was
using the Design Compare utility while having a session of  Allegro
open. I had cross probing capability going on. For example, I could
select a reference designator in the Compare list and it would center up
on the screen in Allegro. I am trying to do this again and my
cross-probing feature is not working. (When I first saw it happening it
was a pleasantly surprised.) Now I cannot get it to work again. Does
anybody have any suggestions to enable cross-probing from Design compare
utility and Allegro Layout?
 
Thanks for help on this matter.  
 
(P.S. - I was launching Design_compare as a stand alone application
because it was not working for some reason from the pull-down menu. I am
thinking that maybe I need to have my present windows directory set to
the same location as my board file, when I launch design_compae. I am
going to try that now.)
 
 

Sincerely yours,
