Do you really execute this same command word by word except for file name ??

if you execute the same command, except for file name, I do not see how it could create nine txt file, plus *.a_b file (what is that ??)" `7 e+ K1 l5 G/ u

why not copy your brd file + hyp.txt to allegro extracta.exe directory ("X:\cadence\spb_16.2\tools\pcb\bin") and execute #1 command to see if it create those three files or not ?? (I bet it will unless there is error at brd file)

The Cadence Allegro(extracta.exe) must generate those *.a_c, *.a_l and *.a_o files for interfacing with HyperLynx. : x2 p1 B" X* U' Q5 l" D( A7 ^* L

And I think you are using SPB 15.x version that are still with "extract.exe". New SPB 16.x is with "extracta.exe". They should be same as function wise. I have another PC still installed with spb 15.5 ("extract.exe") and got the same result as SPB 16.2 ("extracta.exe")
