Xmake fails during OrCAD Annotate: program does not support incremental annotation


Record #2135

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  FPGA Core

Problem Title:
Xmake fails during OrCAD Annotate: program does not support incremental
annotation



Problem Description:
Keywords: orcad, annotate, xmake, /u, incremental annotation

Urgency: Standard

Using Xact step 5.2.0/6.0.0 or later with Orcad SDT
Make may return the following error message:

XMAKE: Execute command 'annotate <design>.sch'
<<<ERROR>>>program does not currently support incremental annotation of
	   ANNOTATE File structures.
	   Use the /U switch to unconditionally change reference.
MSDOS Error # 10 Baf Environment

The message shows up even after using the /U switch.
This error can be caused by having multiple versions of Orcad
tools in the path.
Example:
PATH = c:\xact; c:\sdt; c:\sdt386; c:\windows


Solution 1:

Include only one version of ORCAD in PATH.
