Dear Sir,

I experience error when I doing Partlister in Xpedition VX1

It shows

Error: Value = C1 cant be converted to a fixed type (check locale decimal settings)!

Error: Value = C2 cant be converted to a fixed type (check locale decimal settings)!

Error: Value = C5 cant be converted to a fixed type (check locale decimal settings)!.

.

May I know how to resolve it

"Failed to open document". If click on the OK button in error meassage window,  the top sheet opens and I can work with the sheet. Does anybody know anythingaboutsuch a problem?

 

How to create custom global properties in DxDesigner?

Hello,

 

I have been doing research on this topic and found that it was possible to create global net signal properties.  However, what I would like to do is create global properties to represent other things, such as temperature.  Is there a way to do that?

IPC-2581

I have two questions about this data exchange format;

 

1) Does anyone know of a script that has been written to export the IPC-2581 format from PADS Layout?

 

2) Mentor Graphics is listed as a member of the IPC-2581 consortium. Does Mentor have any plans to implement IPC-2581 as an export option in PADS Layout?

Migrating from netlist flow to an integrated flow

Hi,

 

I am using pads vx. I have finished my schematic and layout using netlist flow. Yesterday I got upgraded to pad standard plus. So I am eligible of integrated flow. How can I convert my existing project into integrated flow? I would also like to use hyperlinx to check my signal integrity and thermal simulations. Any help in that direction will also help? I am assuming I need to convert to an integrated flow to use hyperlinx on my design, am I right? Curently I am able to connect xDxdesigner project to my pads layout from pads but not able to connect xDXdesigner to pads layout or in other-wards, pads knows there is dx designer project is existing but dx desiner not. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

is there a way to act with a user script, when the User run for example the GenCad Export Dialog? see picture

I want run my own script to generate this data, so I will ensure, that when the User who opens the General Interface, in exact this moment I can fire my own things!

How to copy a xDx Designer - xPCB project

Hi All,

 

Is there a tutorial or document which describes how to correctly copying a xDx / xPCB project and automatically setting the new names?

If have tried something and in the end I was editing the .prj file for the correct names.

Looks not the correct way.

 

Thanks.

How to place multiple component in DxDesigner schematic sheet from Dxdtabook partition at same time.

hi,

 

I would like to place 100 components in DxDesigner schematic sheet by one click from Databook Partition. For e.g. I have 500 resistor in the partition. I would like to validate mapping thro packager. So how to place these 500 resistors in DxDesigner schematic by one click.

I  am using EE7.9.3version of DxDesigner Tool.

 

Thanks&Regards,

Where can i find Objects properties?

$

Hello,

 

im PCB designer and im trying to add shortcuts to some functions. Im not programmer so maybe i skip some obvious things.

 

from examples i made something like this:

...

If (pcbDoc.ActiveViewEx.DisplayControl.Visible( "LayerControl." & 1 ) = epcbGraphicsItemStateOnEnabled) Then

pcbDoc.ActiveViewEx.DisplayControl.Visible( "LayerControl." & 1 ) = epcbGraphicsItemStateOffEnabled

Else

pcbDoc.ActiveViewEx.DisplayControl.Visible( "LayerControl." & 1 ) = epcbGraphicsItemStateOnEnabled

End If

...

so this script binded to keyboard key toggle layer 1 visibility.

 

my question is so: where i can find all documentation for object properties.

i want to do the same but only for plane in layer one, but i dont know that to write here: DisplayControl.Visible( ??????? )

i cant find it in automation help.

Length Matching between pin-pairs

$

Hi all,

How can I match length among pin pairs in xPCB?

 

For a example ,

1. U1 - 1 > U2 - 1 > R1-1

2. U1- 2 > U2 - 2 > R2 - 1

 

There are two nets starting from U1 pin 1 and pin 2 to same of U2. Then they go to R1 and R2. What I want is Match trace lengths between U1 and U2 upto 5mils and U2 and resistors upto 5 mils. How can I get this done in xPCB?

Thank you

Existing text becomes invisible after dxf import

$
0
0

I just ran into this today.  In my company title block, the company name is changed to the Calibri font. This font suddenly became invisible. I could change it back to the native pads font, but when I went back to calibri it disappeared.  The cause of this was due to a dxf block I imported into the database. When I exported the dxf file, I must not have selected the correct format and when it imported, the Calibri font was not available so even though this text had nothing to do with the import and already existed in the job, Pads made it invisible to satisfy the dxf file.

 

Ascii out the job, search for Visibility and near the bottom of the file you will find a section titled Visibility Data. Below that (in this case) is a line "Font_face Calibri". I deleted the word Calibri, saved the file and when I imported it into Pads, the text reappeared.

 

I don't know the scope of this visibility data section of the ascii file, but I suspect it can be used to control other things as well.  There is nothing I could find in the help files about setting the visibility of text fonts, so I don't think this can be changed through a layout tab anywhere.

ModelSim PLI question

$

Hello friends.

I try to test PLI.

I have ModelSim PE Student Edition 10.4a installed as well as MinGW.

Here is a c file:

#include "D:\Modeltech_pe_edu_10.4a\include\veriuser.h"

static PLI_INT32 hello()

{

io_printf("Hi there\n");

return 0;

}

s_tfcell veriusertfs[] = {

{usertask, 0, 0, 0, hello, 0, "$hello"},

{0} /* last entry must be 0 */

};

 

The object file is achieved as following:

g++ -c hello.c

 

On the stage of dll I achieve an error:

g++ -shared -o hello.dll hello.o

undefined reference to '_imp__io_printf'

 

What is my mistake?

Thanks!


Ho to generate reusable Blocks for other projects

$

Hi everyone,

 

I just cant find the information I need, so here I go: we are using DxDesigner for schematics capture (hope this is the right place to ask). Within one project, I designed a block that shall be reused several times, and got that working fine. Now I want to go one step further: we need the same block in other projects too, but I'm not sure how to get this done.

 

The first step might be just getting the schematics block to be reused, later on we might want to reuse layout too, but that is not yet important. So my question is whether anyone can please give me a short how-to or name a appropriate document.

 

Thank you very much in advance,

 

Kind regards

Multiple servers using mgcld daemon on the same machine

We have Microsemi tool license running on our server which includes a Microsemi version of ModelSim running the mgcld daemon on port 1702. We are trying to add a license server to the same machine for ModelSim/Questa also using the mgcld daemon on port 1717. My IT person said they are not able to make it run. Any suggestions?

Meaning of "Allow one additional via per SMD pin" at the Editor Control

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a question concerning the "via & fanouts"-options of the Editor Control.

 

In this menu, you can activate the option "Allow one additional via per SMD pin". But independent of activating or non-activating this option, it is possible to add more than one additional via on a smd-pad. For me it is not clear which meaning this option has.

 

Furthermore, at the Plow-Menu of the Editor Control, you can define the "Max vias added", which means the number of maximum number of vias per pin during interactive routing.

 

But does it not contradicts itself when I define "Allow one additional via per SMD pin" = on and "Max vias added" = e.g. 5 ?

 

Thanks for many helps.

hai

       i simulated a layout with p2040 and 5ddr3(4+1ecc) in 1333 mbps i found that all the nets are passing and only dqs is listed in violation dqs 0,1,2,3 are getting failed

and 4,5,6,7 are passing what would be the error

Capture.JPG

i had obseved all the lines are routed with equal length with respect to the corresponding data lines

when i examined the layout

all the length matching is perfect what would be the reason for this failure?
