LM5176: Exported Design -> Can't run padstack script in v17.2?

Jim Fuoco

Part Number: LM5176

Are the exported design scripts supposed to work in allegro v17.2? Specifically, the pads_scr file (in my case, 2018-12-18_14-22-36_pads.scr) does not work. It seems the padstack scripting had a complete overhaul during the v16 -> v17 overhaul.

When I try to run the pads_scr I immediately get "Can't find window; Form.padedit" error.

Any ideas?

    Here's syntax from TI's exported pad.scr:

    ######################## New PadStack #########################
    pse_new
    fillin "R10180550000000A.pad"

    FORM padedit units Mils

    Here's a snippet of the script I recorded in v17.2:
