I setup something a while back that does exactly what you are looking for.
It was done using aliases and setting inside of the env file.



Add the following to your local pcbenv/env file:



# Read Library Environment file

source C:\Allegro_Libs\lib_env.txt



The contents of the library environment file (C:\Allegro_Libs\lib_env.txt) would be as follows:

#

# ALLEGRO Library environment file

# # - this indicates a comment#

#--------------------------------------------------------------------



# Library Variables (This paths may need to be updated to match you library structure)

set STD_LIBPATH = C:\Allegro_Libs\Std_Libs

set CUST_1_LIBPATH = C:\Allegro_Libs\Customer_Libs\Customer_1

set CUST_2_LIBPATH = C:\Allegro_Libs\Customer_Libs\Customer_2



#--------------------------------------------------------------------



# Default Library Search Path Variables

set PSMPATH = . $STD_LIBPATH\symbols

set PADPATH = . $STD_LIBPATH\padlib



#--------------------------------------------------------------------



# Default Library Search Path Variables - Alias

alias std_psmpath 'set PSMPATH . $CUST_1_LIBPATH\symbols'

alias std_padpath 'set PADPATH . $CUST_1_LIBPATH\padlib'

alias std_lib_echo 'skill axlUIConfirm("You are now setup to point to
the Default Allegro Library")'



#--------------------------------------------------------------------



# Customer 1 Library Search Path Variables - Alias

alias cust1_psmpath 'set PSMPATH . $CUST_1_LIBPATH\symbols'

alias cust1_padpath 'set PADPATH . $CUST_1_LIBPATH\padlib'

alias cust1_lib_echo 'skill axlUIConfirm("You are now setup to point to
the Customer 1 Allegro Library")'



#--------------------------------------------------------------------



# Customer 2 Library Search Path Variables - Alias

alias cust2_psmpath 'set PSMPATH . $CUST_2_LIBPATH\symbols'

alias cust2_padpath 'set PADPATH . $CUST_2_LIBPATH\padlib'

alias cust2_lib_echo 'skill axlUIConfirm("You are now setup to point to
the Customer 2 Allegro Library")'



#--------------------------------------------------------------------



# Set Library Search Path Variables to the Customer Libraries using an alias



alias std_lib 'std_psmpath ; std_padpath ; std_lib_echo'

alias cust1_lib 'cust1_psmpath ; cust1_padpath ; cust1_lib_echo'

alias cust2_lib 'cust2_psmpath ; cust2_padpath ; cust2_lib_echo'



#--------------------------------------------------------------------



After you make this changes that all you will have to do is type on the Allegro command line “cust1_lib” to access the Customer 1 libraries, ““cust2_lib” to access the Customer 2 libraries and “std_lib” to access your default libraries.

Hope this helps,
