Tony,
Extraction tool: C:\Cadence\PSD_15.1\tools\pcb\bin\extracta.exe
Script files: C:\Program Files\Fabmaster\cdc2fab\config\
Output: C:\Design-1\SA-0002\CAD\BRD\
Also tried copying the files to the project directory (Output).
No difference. Are there any other settings?
Thank you,
Richard E Marion

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.

Hello Gary,
Edited the parts.txt.
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?
Thank you,
Richard

Hey Richard,
Yeah, FABmaster has a way of biting you, especially if you haven't used it
for a while, or when you change to a new release of Allegro.
1) Install FABmaster, then, if I remember correctly, for 15.x, you need to
edit the "parts.txt" file (typical path "C:\Program
Files\Fabmaster\cdc2fab\config). 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!

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] FABMaster Version 4.2.D
Greetings,
I haven't done a PCB in Allegro for a while and have mostly re-invented the
process.
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!)?
Thank you,
