vivado not recognised as internal or external command

[ben_allen_arm]

This is a very basic question that I can't find an answer to. I have vivado installed on windows and want to run it in batch mode, but when running the command 

vivado -mode batch -source ../scripts/run_vivado.tcl

vivado is not recognised as an internal or external command.

I've tried adding the xilinx folder to my path, but that didn't seem to work. 

Any suggestions?

You need to use the Xilinx vivado dos window , not the standard windows dos.

ah, so if i want to run vivado from another batch file, is this not possible?

Hi, solved the issue, I was pointing my path at the wrong folder!

[drjohnsmith]

you can call vivaod fomr any TCL file,

provided the orriginal was starter in the Vivado TCL command window

Hi, @ben_allen_arm ,

In the command line, please set the Vivado environment first.

Run settings64.bat under Vivado installation dir:

Ex:

C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2018.3\settings64.bat
