Running Board Architect Design Reuse Tutorial

Running the Reuse in PCB Design Tools Tutorial

-Make a directory in your home directory for the tutorial files
-Start dmgr
-From the menus, choose MGC-Location Map-Read Map
Enter the following location: /net/edg/disk3/brd_arch/reuse/reusetut/tut_location_map
-Change to the $TRAINS directory (pick the button with arrows pointing in all four directions and enter $TRAINS)
-Copy the file host_design to the directory you created
-Run the tutorial on this file
-Every time you want to work through the tutorial, you should repeat this procedure

Prior to working on any regular designs, you should quit and restart dmgr.

Setting Up the Board Architect Tutorial

-Make a directory in your home directory for the tutorial files
-Start dmgr
-MGC-Location Map-Read Map
/net/edg/disk3/brd_arch/batut/tut_location_map
OK
-Change to $DESIGNS and copy all these files to the directory you created
-MGC-Location Map-Read Map...
File Path $MGC_HOME/etc/mgc_location_map

Unless you want to copy the original files to your home directory again, you should not have to run this procedure again for this tutorial.

Prior to working on any regular designs, you should quit and restart dmgr.

System Administration Info

The first step was to expand the tutorial (including libraries) so that it was accessible by all users. Procedure:
-cp $MGC_HOME/shared/pkgs/batut/batut.tar.Z /net/edg/disk3/brd_arch
-Uncompress and untar here, creating directory batut with everything inside

-For the reusetut file, first create a directory called reuse and expand everything there. This is because this file doesn't expand to just one directory, it also puts a lot of files in the directory where the tar file is.

Next, the tut_location_map files in the batut and reuse/reusetut directories needed to be modified. Then the user would manually load this file prior to starting Design Manager and would be able to find all the parts to the tutorial. Normally, all the info in this tut_location_map would be incorporated into our regular location map, but since we already use two of the names in other places, a different solution needed to be found.

Solution is for the users to load the location map themselves prior to running either tutorial. How this is done is explained above.
