Sideabar: Scripting OrCAD Capture with TCL/Tk
OrCAD Capture is bundled with an interpreter for the TCL scripting language.
The TCL interpreter bundled with OrCAD Capture can be accessed from within the OrCAD Capture main window, via the "right-click" context menu on the OrCAD Capture menu bar.

OrCAD Capture TCL API
- TCL Version (OrCAD Capture 16.6)
- puts $tcl_version
- => 8.4
- Object Models
- OrCAD Database Object Model (Dbo*)
- Reference: Tcl/Tk Extensions in OrCAD Capture [documentation] s. 3
- Subsets:
- Design Database Object Model
- Library Database Object Model
- See also: Class Hierarchy, s. 3.2.1.2 in Tcl/Tk Extensions in OrCAD Capture [documentation]
- Commands
- Menu Commands
- Page Editor Commands
- Project Manager Commands
- Database TCL Commands (see also: Object Models)
- Journaling
- SetOptionBool Journaling TRUE
- SetOptionBool DisplayCommands TRUE
- The command journaling feature in OrCAD Capture allows for a certain approach to script debugging or alternately, API exploration, by displaying TCL API commands as applicable for duplication of existing GUI actions (e.g. place wire, place component, ...)
Developing Interfaces to TCL from Other Programming Language Platforms
- FFI in TCL
- (TBD)
- SWIG
- Common Lisp (ANSI CLtL)
- Overview
- Interface tools for CLtL are mostly GUI-focused
- Some (?) allow embedding of TCL scripts
- TCL is not CORBA IDL
- Selected Projects
- Reflection in TCL
- (TBD)
- Load-time initialization file for the OrCAD TCL interpreter
- path [cygwin] $(cygpath -u $CDSROOT)/tools/capture/tclscripts/capinit.tcl
- Load-time initialization directory for the OrCAD TCL interpreter
- path [cygwin] $(cygpath -u $CDSROOT)/tools/capture/tclscripts/capAutoLoad/
- Resource: Tclblend [tclers wiki]
- Java + TCL
- Resource: JacORB
- CORBA ORB in Java
- Support for Kerberos, SSL
- Development Procedure (Outline)

- Concepts (outline)
- Why CORBA?
- OrCAD as service provider
- Schematic capture service (GUI)
- Schematic modeling service (API)
- Schematic simulation service (GUI) (API?)
- Independent process control for service provider appliations
