[PCB_FORUM] Re: Switching between two versions of Allegro PCB

We use our own custom Perl script, however when you install V15.7 look
in the PCB utilities

If you use this technique on a PC, search online for "setx" program

which can be used to set Environment Variables. Very convenience when

use it in a batch file to switch between versions.

 

-man

Gary,

     If your on a PC, and running windows:

 

     --->Right click on My Computer

          --->Click Properties

               --->Advanced Tab

                    ---> Environment Variables

                    

     Edit the variable "CDSROOT" so that it points at 

     the installation directory.

 

     If your in unix enviroment, check with your IT

     support person. (a startup script may be required)

 

==========================================================

 

     In my case I would change the "CDSROOT" variable

 

          From:   D:\Cadence\SPB_15.5.1

 

          To:     D:\Cadence\SPB_15.7

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Switching between two versions of Allegro PCB

 

 

 

Hey guys,

 

 

 

I remember this being discussed in the past, having two versions of

Allegro PCB loaded, then switching between them.

 

I am on 15.5.1 (will probably go up to 15.7 soon), and might need to

load in a 16.0 board now and then.

 

 

 

Could someone tell me what you need to do to switch between the two

versions?

 

I'm guessing pointing to two versions of env files, right?

 

 

 

Thanks for any help!

 

 

 

Gary
