Loading and running scripts: PADS scripts can be run in PowerPCB or
PowerLogic by loading the script in the Basic Scripts launch window. In the main
application, select Tools, Basic Scripting, Basic Scripts. In the launch window,
click the Load File button and use the file browser to select the directory and script
filename (typically, scripts are stored in the \padspwr\ole directory or the \ole subdir
of your installed copy of PowerPCB). To run a script, select it in the list window
and click the Run button. If the script is frequently used you can also add it to
the Tools, Basic Scripting popup menu by checking on the In Menu checkbox in the top right
corner.
