If you created the script file usint ctrl-p (make sure the script buttons box is checked), you should be able to do the following: Copy the generated script file into the new working (physical) directory. Open the new board file and go into the Setup-Contraints-Spacing Rules Set-Set values window Go into the script command, browse to the place where the script file was copied to and replay It should load in the name of the constraint set name with all the values.

Other than extracting an entire techfile, editing the file to find that one particular spacing type, and importing that section of the techfile back into a board? thanks, Mike ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <javascript:parent.ComposeTo("icu-pcb-forum-request%40freelists.org", "");> //www.freelists.org/archives/icu-pcb-forum/icu-pcb-forum-admins@fre elists.org <javascript:parent.ComposeTo("icu-pcb-forum-admins%40freelists.org", "");> with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list go to Problems or Questions: Send an email to ----------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail <http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100122638x1081283466x1074645346/aol?redir =http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eaim%2Ecom%2Ffun%2Fmail%2F> -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.
