yes, I did that. I have the setting enabled that creates backup copies of everything too. The script just didn't work. I'm running 15.5.1. We were able to convert a journal file into a script once but it took a lot of hand editing. That was about a year ago. Also, right after my Allegro session crapped out on me another window program crapped out so I rebooted my machine. So this may not have been an Allegro software fault. Good news is I am back to my last point and I have saved the board file and journal file away so I can submit to Cadence after I am finished with my fire drill here. -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of gnieski_mike@xxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 11:14 AM To: undisclosed-recipients Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: [PCB_FORUM] You have to grab the jrl file BEFORE you open another Session of Allegro, if you open Allegro prior to copying The jrl file the whole thing gets overwritten. -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Mattice Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 1:42 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: [PCB_FORUM] Well I just happened to loose almost 30 minutes of intense hand editing....

This will create a .scr file from the journal file and fill its name in the script name field so all you will need to do is click the Reply button. I have had great success with this.
