C# to call Cadence Allegro with SKILL code function

Question

I am trying to make some calls to Cadence Allegro from C#, I have some C++ examples but they are very incomplete. I don't see anything on S/O with this, some Allegro... But if anyone has ever called up a Allegro PCB etc.. , can you point me in the right direction? I have been looking on Cadence website.

Looking to send "SKILL .il" code over from C# application to Cadence PCB / Editor etc.. for the .brd (board) files to show violations.

So Cadence Systems has a dll called mpsc.dll, and there is a header file mpsc.h in which there are many functions to call.

This stuff does work, just very old and I will wrap it in C#

Yes, I don't recall the details as I'm on another contract at another company. – Tom Stickel Sep 13 '13 at 15:16
