HI again
I have done uprev on all my libs and on the board, still the same problem, I
can't update my symbols or even replace a via padstacks the program runs
forever.
nb (The uprev_overwrite.bat has an error: it needs cadence perl.exe to run
correctly, but it adds the path for this perl.exe in the end of the path, so it
gets our perl instead, and our perl do not expand the wildcard "*")
I can do all normal Gui edits I have tryed so far.
Hi
Peter

My guess is that the update symbols is running dbdoctor(uprev) one at a time
instead of in batch. I would backup your 14 libe. And run uprev. Here is the
process we got from the AE
Essentially make a back-up of the library (just in case). Open a dos window.
cd to the folder where the parts are located and type
uprev_overwrite *.dra
repeat for each file type... *.dra, *.psm, *.ssm, *.brd, *.bsm, *.fsm until
all have been upreved. To run it on a single file it is just uprev. You will
notice that the dbdoctor is also used here.
Let me know if this is sufficient for us to consider this Service re4quest
closed.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Update symbol of older board file takes forever in Alegro
15.2s80 windows version. (what is uprev)
Hi Guys
I have done layouts in Allegro for a year now.
Now I'm doing a new version of my first layout.
So I decided that I better update all symbols including padstacks in the board.
But it take forever (2 hours) so I terminated it.
The board is 14layers but not a really big design.
Thre is a lot of power layers with possive dyn shapes.
I have a 3GHz PC with 1Gb ram and it runs okay.
I takes miunttes to update just one single component!
I have tryed disabling dyn shapes and online DRC but that did not help.
I have also run a database check.
I have done update of symbols before in earlier 15.2 versions and they where
not so slow, but they where on boards made in the same version.
I know there is somethink called uprev, but I have never used it and don't
really know what it is.
Is this beacuse the symbols are in an older version and I should do uprev on
them or somethink like that?
I have use some of these symbols in this Allegro version in new boards without
any problems.
Any ideers of what I should do?
I will try let it run all night and see tomorrow.
Best regards
