And, of course, if you are on maintenance you could send the database to your friendly cadence fellow and ask them to try to fix it for you. This has worked for me several times over the course of my pcb career. Not mentioned yet, the AUTOSAVE file (AUTOSAVE.brd) is also a possibility if you had autosave set to a reasonable value (I use 10 minutes) and it hasn't been written over yet. Best of luck, Kevin McCowan Sr. PCB Designer TSI Telsys
Also if your running Allegro 15.2 it will automatically generate the Script from the *.jrl file.. If you do not have 15.2 then there is a skill routeen which will do this for you, so you don't need to hack the *.jrl file yourself.-----------------------------------------------------------

If you have your last saved database or better yet an even newer autosave database and your journal file then yes you can generate a replay script that will rerun the commands. The journal file (.jrl) will need to be parsed out to include all command after the latest save and only include the command lines as the other lines in the .jrl file are comments only and will cause your replay script to fail. The command lines all begin with \i and the comments all begin with \t. Once you have created the script from the .jrl then you can replay it using File-Script-Replay. Note of caution: Do not try reopening your current database without copying your database or autosave and the journal file to a safe location. If you do reopen the database you chance over-writing the journal data and then you will never be able to recover your lost commands. If you need help with this task you can contact me directly via my work phone.
