Kevin,
I do not see anything for "shell".
Please see my attached env file.
I have never tried "shell" or "extracta" before, but would like to
report a edited pin in a desin. (SYM_HAS_PIN_EDIT)
Thanks, Mark
P.S. I could not find anything substantial on sourcelink either. Allegro help just says to type in the command window.

I just did and it opened a command shell. Maybe you have it misaliased or something strange like that. Check your aliases and your pcbenv for any weirdness. You are on windows, right? I guess that wouldn't matter, actually.

Thanks Jayne, Has anyone run "shell" for Allegro command window to run extracta? I have v.15.1 and nothing happens when I try. :-(
Thanks, Mark

Sorry for the slow response its been a full day.
To run an extract:
In a text editor, create an extract file like the one below and place it in the directory defined by your textpath.
In a command window type extracta and it will prompt you for the name of the board file, the extract file and the output file.
Hope this helps,
Jayne

Jane,
That would work...I think. How do I run the extract?
If we could use this to report any parts with modified pins / padstacks, then I could refresh everything except the modified one.
Does this sound feasable?
Thanks, Mark

We run an extract:
SYMBOL
SYM_NAME
DATES "LAST_MODIFIED
SYM_HAS_PIN_EDIT
SYM_TYPE
It reports if a symbol has been modified in the .brd.

*Subject:* [PCB_FORUM] Re: Display pin numbers?
Hello Kevin,
From what I can tell...the *Package Geometry/Pin numbers* was added in 14.2. But if a board was designed prior to that (even though upreved to a newer version). Allegro uses the database library so that any mods to a component pin, etc...(design specific) would not automatically refresh to remove any mods. Now with a 13.5 file upreved to 15.1 through DB Doctor, pin numbers will not display unless I refresh all. But this would remove any mods made in the past. (Dangerous).
How can I use Allegro to uprev the design library without changing any mods, yet allow pin numbers to display?
As I mentioned, the "board" has been upreved by Allegro 15.1.
I know if I "refresh", Allegro will update any mods back to the default library version.
As Jean mentioned, if I extract...the symbols will overwrite any mods that were made.
We have tech's using the free viewer that would like to see pin numbers displayed on components, but will only work on boards that were designed in 14.2 or later without refreshing.
Thanks for the feedback! Mark

If you need to uprev the symbols, why not extract them and use allegro to uprev them? Then you know they will still fit as they came from the design and refresh shouldn't cause any pain. I haven't noticed this problem before, though. Did they change something so that the pin numbers now show?

Is there a way to display pin numbers on a pre-14.2 .brd file WITHOUT refreshing all parts?
Package Geometry/Pin numbers
Since the board was originally created prior to 14.2, the only parts that display pin numbers are "new parts" that did NOT exist in the original board database library.
If we "refresh all" we would risk unwanted changes to modified components in the database.
However, my gut fell is that this is the only way to get them to display.
Thanks, Mark
