Importing HKP files to PADS VX Intergrated Flow?
Hello everyone,
Is there any way to import HKP files to PADS VX? My issue is that neither Accelerated Designs ' Ultra Librarian or PCB Libraries' Library Expert support importing to the PADS VX Integrated Flow. Both applications do support exporting to Expedition via HKP files.
And Yes, I already did check PartQuest... None of the parts I need have footprints there.

DXF Export of Bottom Assembly Drawing has a Text Offset
I'm trying to export a DXF drawing of my assembly outlines and reference designators. For the top side this works fine. On the bottom side all reference designators have an offset. They are starting at the position where they should end.
At first it seems he is trying to mirror the text on a Edge.
But now I tryed all combinations of different text origins, text mirror checkbox & export mirror checkbox enableing and the result is allways the same.
There must be another option.
Is there an alternative to export am assembly drawing?
I'm using X-ENTP VX.1 Update 14

True Type Font for Silkscreen
I've been trying to output true type font from the silkscreen generator with no success. All the silkscreen generator does is outline the true type font. I come from a PADS background and have used true type font on many designs with no issues, is it possible to use true type fonts on the silkscreen in Xpedition VX 1.1? If so, how?

need free PADS viewer in ENGLISH
to whom it may concern,
I requested for a free PADS viewer SW yesterday, and, after receiving and installing the viewer through an auto-generated activation email, the display language of the viewer turned out to be in simplified Chinese (note: i live in Taiwan and the common written language here is TRADITIONAL CHINESE). To my dismay there’s no way to change the display language and all the menu items are gibberish to me. Can you pls supply me with an ENGLISH viewer? Thank you so much!

PADS Layout VX.1.1 Backward is every time in mils
Hi,
I have a PCB project. In the options of PCB Layout the unit is Metric.
In the DXDesigner on the first page is the attribute UNIT=METRIC set.
he attribute Geometry.Height is in mm on the xDX Designer side.
Like 6.00mm for LED1 (== 236.22mil)
If I want do backward from PCB by the xDX Designer Link I get every time this:
*PADS-ECO-V10.0-MILS*
*REMARK* old file: L:\PCB\prj\2010\LPSFE2\DATA.asc
*REMARK* new file: L:\PCB\prj\2010\LPSFE2\ED000-LPSF03.asc
*REMARK* created by ECOGEN (Version 6.4v) on 30.11.2015 12:47:48
*SET_ATTRIBUTE* PART LED1
"Geometry.Height" 236.22mil
*SET_ATTRIBUTE* PART LED2
"Geometry.Height" 236.22mil
*SET_ATTRIBUTE* PART TR3
"Geometry.Height" 1574.80mil
...
..
And this will fail because MIL != METRIC.
Where is the hidden option to change the unit from mil to metric in backward??

CellEditor startup/edit from xPCB
Hello,
I am developing in Visual Basic 2010 Express. We have done most of our scripting using Forms (.efm) and VBScript for xPCB. I am having trouble editing a cell after CellEditor is started (and visible) from xPCB Layout.
I may be overlooking something very obvious here...
I already have:
-Set references in VBE (MGCPCB*.tlb and Cell*.tlb)
-Connected to xPCB
-Validated the license token
-Set the ActiveDatabase
-Looped the Partitions (only 1)
-Looped the Cells
-Started CellEditor and made it visible
This works (code snippet I found) in VBScript:
' Get the Cell Editor object from the PCB document
Set cellEdObj = oPCBdoc.CellEditor
' Set the Cell Editor to be visible so we can see it
cellEdObj.Visible = False
Set cellDB = cellEdObj.ActiveDatabase
' Loop through all of the Cell Partitions
For Each Part In cellDB.Partitions
' Loop through all of the Cells in each Partition
For Each Cell In Part.Cells
If Cell.Name = "P47F_NO_HS" Then
' Call the Cell Graphics Editor
Set cellDoc = Cell.Edit()
MsgBox("Edit")
Set cellApp = cellDoc.Application
' Make sure the Cell Graphics Editor is visible
cellApp.Visible = True
MsgBox("Visible")
' This is where a real application would do something
' useful. This example script does nothing but sleep
' for half a second before closing the Graphic Editor.
'Scripting.Sleep(500)
cellDoc.Close(False)
MsgBox("Close")
' Do some clean up
Set cellApp = Nothing
Set cellDoc = Nothing
End If
Next
Next
' Close the Cell Editor
cellEdObj.Quit
Call oPCBapp.Gui.StatusBarText("Done.")
This VBE code fails at the Edit:
' open CellEditor and close it
'Dim oCellED As CellEditorAddinLib.CellEditorDlg
'Dim oCellDB As CellEditorAddinLib.CellDB
oCellED = CType(oPCBDoc.CellEditor, CellEditorAddinLib.CellEditorDlg)
oCellED.Visible = True
oCellDB = oCellED.ActiveDatabase
Console.Write(vbCrLf & oCellDB.Partitions.Count)
For z As Integer = 1 To oCellDB.Partitions.Count
oPart = oCellDB.Partitions.Item(z)
Console.Write(vbCrLf & oPart.Name.ToString)
Console.Write(vbCrLf & oPart.Cells.Count)
For y As Integer = 1 To oPart.Cells.Count
oCell = oPart.Cells.Item(y)
Console.Write(vbCrLf & oCell.Name.ToString)
oCellDoc = CType(oCell.Edit, CellEditorAddinLib.Cell)
oCellGFX = CType(oCellDoc.Edit, CellEditorAddinLib.CellEditorDlg)
'oCellDoc.Visible = True
oCellGFX.Visible = True

Jiffy Splice
Hello,
What is the best way to deal with jiffy splices? They are a connected male and female terminals covered by a sleeve. As a connector I always have to create a zero length bundle to show both wires coming in from either side. As a splice the terminals could be additional components but you can't assign the male/female terminal to its designated wire. This would probably create an issue down the line when running it through TVM as the terminals get terminated like any other wire.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Linux: changing from license server to nodelocked license
We have been running Modelsim on our Linux machine using a remote license server. We recently changed to a node-locked license and just received the license file. When I export values of LM_LICENSE_FILE and MGLS_LICENSE_FILE to point to the new license file location and try to run Modelsim, I get the error message:
Unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variable (e.g., LM_LICENSE_FILE)
is set correctly and then run 'lmutil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem.
Unable to checkout a license. Vsim is closing.
** Fatal: Invalid license environment. Application closing.
When I run 'lmutil lmdiag' I get the following:

From the "put_server_name_here" you can tell I haven't entered a server name, thinking it's not relevant since we have the node-locked license on our system. I shouldn't have to run mgcld, should I? Do I need to delete the server section from the license file?
What do I have to do to get Modelsim (vsim) running on the new license?

Bundle with with Heatshrink tube
Hi Everyone,
does anyone know if VeSys can calculate the correct bundle width with insulation when heatshrink is used?
I've tried with heatshrink defined as a tube however, regardless of the value given to the bore, the bundle width with insulation is always = heatshrink bore + 2 * the heatshrink thickness
e.g with a 6mm bundle and heatshrink bore = 0, thickness = 0.5 then bundle width with insulation is reported as 1.0mm and with a 6mm bundle and heatshrink bore = 8, thickness = 0.5 then bundle width with insulation is reported as 9.0mm
Thanks
