I have 15.5 s017 on Windows XP.
I exported the board file from 15.5 back to 15.2 and opened it outside
of the project in Allegro 15.2. Then I generated a dsn file form it.
I opened the dsn file in PCB Router v 15.2 and still had the same
problem (commands would not work).
I created a test project that had 2 parts in 15.5 and it worked just fine.

What release of 15.5 are you running? Windows or UNIX (and what version)?
Are you running standalone or from within Allegro?
Running Standalone 15.5 under Windows XP I can drive Fanout from pulldown GUI fine. You may have an exception that Cadence needs to know about.

David,
The problem is that I did not type that command. Allegro PCB Router generated that command when I selected "fanout" from the menu. Even with a simple command like "fanout 1" I get:
fanout 1
# <<ERROR:>> Syntax error in command: unexpected end-of-line.
# (content): fanout 1
# <<ERROR:>> Bad command not executed!
# <<ERROR:>> Bad command not executed!
If I try just a "fanout" without any arguments I get this: fanout # <<ERROR:>> Syntax error in command: token 1 = fanout # (content): fanout # <<ERROR:>> Bad command not executed! # <<ERROR:>> Bad command not executed!

Fanout is a delimited command, ie it is not defined by opening and closing parentheses but rather is a command (fanout) followed by a series of delimiters. What defines the end of the command is an end-of-sentence (typically carriage return/line feed). The Router understands the text going onto a second line (wordwrap) as long as that's what put it on the second line rather than an intermediate 'end-of-line'.
The router thinks you have broken the fanout command mid-stream. in a proper Editor (like MakeDOE) you can see if there's an end-of-line.
MakeDOE is FREE to Users on support and you can see the end-of-line if desired:

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)

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:

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.

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....?
