[PCB_FORUM] Re: Syntax error in 15.5 router

 
Hi Gennadiy,

It sounds like there is a problem with that Allegro database. I believe
that you said the process works on a test case. Have you run DBDoctor on
the design? If so, did that fix the issue? If not, please call the
Hotline and have someone check it out for you.

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.
