[PCB_FORUM] Re: mouse change w/15.5

You just have to put this file (allegro.stroke) in your "$HOME/pcbenv" 
directory.
or load in Allegro:

Syntax
  strokefile <filename> 


Procedure
Specifying a File Containing Your Own Strokes
            Type strokefile <filename> at the console window prompt. 

PCB Editor, APD looks for stroke files in this order: in the current working 
directory, the \pcbenv directory, or in $cdsroot\share\pcb\text directory, 
unless you specify a full path name in the filename argument.

  How do you read them into Cadence?

    In a previous life, I was doing schematic entry in Mentor and learned the 
"strokes"!
    Wow they were just great. Once you get used to them they are very powerful.

    When I started up on Cadence I found they had only a few strokes and most 
of them
    didn't work well so I went back to using function keys for the basic 
things. Of course
    it doesn't help much that Cadence follows the Select a process then select 
the thing the 
    process is to affect. Whereas Mentor you select the item, then tell it what 
process you want to
    use. 

    One of these days I will train my Cadence tool how to use strokes better 
but as a librarian
    there are only a few basic things I need now.
