[PCB_FORUM] Re: Syntax error in 15.5 router

Hugh,

I start the PCB Router by selecting "Route -->> Route Editor..." from the menu. It worked just fine in 15.2 and all the previous versions I used.
I have just tried "old fashion method" and it did not fix my problem. Here is what fanout command gives me when selected from menu:

fanout 1 (direction in_out) (location anywhere) (max_len -1) (pin_type power) (pin_type signal) (pin_share off) (via_share off) (smd_share off) (share_len -1) # <<ERROR:>> Syntax error in command: unexpected end-of-line.
# (content): fanout 1 (direction in_out) (location anywhere) (max_len -1) (pin_type power) (pin_type signal) (pin_share off) (via_share off) (smd_share off) (share_len -1) # <<ERROR:>> Bad command not executed!
# <<ERROR:>> Bad command not executed!

I am running PCB Router V15.5 made 2005/09/13 at 15:58:01. What do you have?

Hi Gennadiy:

 I ran some 15.5 tests:

# Allegro PCB Router V15.5 made  at

 exported .dsn from Allegro using file > export> router
 Stated Specctra reading that .dsn
 executed the smart_route command both from the Specctra command line and
from the autoroute menu of specctra. Both run fine.
Results.

Are you trying to start Specctra "automatically" by using the Allegro route
pulldown menu > > >?

I have not used that method but when I tried it just now I didn't get it to
work as  I expected it to.

Try the old fashion method outlined in my test that worked (export .dsn
then start Specctra loading the .dsn then execute your commands) or provide
a little more detail as to how you are starting up.

Do you have the same problem if you run 15.2 if no you may have a software
installation problem.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Syntax error in 15.5 router


Hello group,

I am trying to route a board in PCB Router v 15.5. For some reason the
routing
commands (route, fanout,smart_route) do not work. The router tells me I have
a
sintax error in my command. I get the same messages even when I select
commands
from the menu.

smart_route
# <> Syntax error in command: token 1 = smart_route
# (content): smart_route
# <> Bad command not executed!
# <> Bad command not executed!

Only the chosen one may route....?
