Richard, Mine seems to work without having to copy the .txt files to the project directory. Having the .txt files in the C:\Program Files\Fabmaster\cdc2fab\config\ seems to work fine. Go back a recheck your script files path again to be sure it is typed correctly.

Set "Extraction Tool" path. Set "Script Files" path. Went so far as to add "C:\Program Files\Fabmaster\cdc2fab\config\" to System Variable Path. Added ".txt" to System Variable Pathext. Need some more luck, any further recommendations?

In this file, if present, remove these last three lines: COMP_RATED_CURRENT COMP_RATED_POWER COMP_RATED_VOLTAGE 2) Now, launch FABmaster ("Cdc2fab.exe"). Then in the small CDC2FAB... window, click File -> Configure. The "Extraction Tool" path should be set to your Cadence directory where Allegro is loaded, down to the "bin" directory to find the file "extracta.exe". The "Script files" path should be the path from Step 1) above to the "config" directory. Good luck! Gary E.

However, when running FABMaster Version 4.2.D, it cannot locate the Script files. Message: "No match for 'Parts.txt' in the search path." I have tried the default path, and a more local path. Is this a System Variable Issue (be kind, I haven't done this for a while!)?
