Capital Logic - Cross Reference - Repeating pin / Conductors to many devices

May 11, 2016, 12:05 pm

Hi, I have a lot of subsystem sheets complete (Device to device, conductor closed) for example, horn diagram, lights diagram e etc

I'm trying to building a main diagram telling about Fuse Box to each cross reference....I have 2 problems:

 

01- The cross reference is repeating fuse box pin....it's already in Home condition...but fuse box pin appear twice. I already check the home condition and I don't know why is repeating. I will attach same example. I know the cross reference needs to find another cross reference but this fuse box diagram is just to meet all specific conductors in same diagram.

 

02- I have many conductors shared by many devices, in specific diagrams these signals are physically connected,in this fuse box page the cross reference put it together in same line because are in same diagram.

Is there a way to separe by line devices using same signal? If they are not connected in subsystem its OK, but if the conductors are together....I have this cross reference problem!

I dont know if there is some query that I can use to specify a cross reference different only for fuse box diagrams

 

 

Thanks in advanced

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

Alternate symbols in DxDesigner

How does DxD handle alternate symbols, such as a vertical capacitor symbol and a horizontal capacitor symbol for the same capacitor part number? 

In PADS Logic I set up 'CAE Decal 1' and 'CAE Decal 2' under the Gates tab in the Part Editor.  Then I can hit <ctrl><tab> or <right-click><alternate> to cycle through the decal choices.  Does DxD have something like that? 

 

Thanks,

We are using xDX Designer VX.0 pads flow.

The xDM library tools has the reusable blocks editor grayed out. Is this feature not available to use?

Also CL view in databook has a reuse blocks tab.

What is the best way for us to save a logical / physical reuse block using VX.0 pads flow?

How to make output warnings/links point to board section and not block section?

I have a lot of automation that reports to the output window using the "vdraw" command. Right now, these links seem to open up items in the Blocks section, which I don't want. I want to link to a part in the Boards section. How can I get this done? This is an example of a component in a hierarchical block that I want to link to in the output window, but I want the link to take someone to component in the Boards, not Blocks, section:

 

vdraw: Warning 1: Module_FPGA com $1I2345: this link will take you to the component

DX Databook Login, Password

To use DX Designer for schematics entry, we require access to the Main Library. The Library is copied from a server to local hard disk, However, when accessing the library parts from the DX Designer, Login name and Password is asked. We require this PW. The Honeywell username and password did not work here. Who can provide this loginname and the password?

Automated Screenshot of xPCB Layout Layers

Hello,

 

I am looking for a way, to make automated screenshots of layout sections.

Currently to do this, I am using the window handle of the xPCB Aplication.

 

  • pcbApp.Gui.HWND

 

when I do a shot then I get the complete window, but no artwork, just the black window.

shot-nok.jpeg

This shot here is ok, but made with a screenshot tool like (Win7 Snipping Tool)

shot-ok.png

The Screenshot .Net class I have is working, I am using it also for other projects.

 

Another Idea was now, to search the xPCB window for subwindows. I did that, and found around 100 Handles.

I shooted them all, but none of them included my PCB/artwork.

 

Has someone an Idea, how to get fractions / sections / excerpts  of a whole PCB / View to a bitmap, or PDF or ...

Or how to get the right handle (HWND) of the PCB window ?

 

Thanks in advance

Modifying Label object's Origin property (in Perl)

May 13, 2016, 1:16 pm

I am using Perl for a script that adds nets to components in xDX Designer.  The problem is that for those properties (of an object) that are of types both, read and write, cannot be modified or I am not doing it right.  Specifically, I need to change the label object's Origin property so that it's different from the default 0 to say, 9.  Here's what I am doing:

 

# add net label
$net_label = $new_net->AddLabel($net_seg_one, $net_name, $net_label_x_loc, $pin_y_loc);

# modify origin
$net_label->Origin(9);

 

Above $net_label is an object (I have verified this using print statement which says hash reference) and the line below that is supposed to change the origin of that label object (i.e. $net_label) to 9, which equates to lower-right.  But the origin does not change and there's no error produced either.  I have tried putting 9 in double quotes (i.e. requirement for a string in Perl or even used a variable in parenthesis for Origin but nothing yet).  Any idea how to change Origin?  Works fine in VBScript but not Perl. 

 

Thanks for your time.

Hi Guys

Does anyone has a presentation or some videos demonstrating the integration between VeSys 2.0 to UGS. Acutally, I am looking for transferring the wiring data from VeSys 2.0 to UGS NX5, back transfer the wiring data (which includes the wire length) to VeSys Design and transfer the harness data to VeSys Harness. I have to demonstrate these to the customer and I don't have an idea on this feature. Please help me in this regards

More 7.9.x to VX translations

October 12, 2015, 10:49 am

I have a few library oriented scripts that run behind the scenes during off hours that I am having issues getting to work correctly in VX.  For example I have a script that finds parts with missing areas in DMS and then goes and calculates an area estimate based on the placement outline and then finally load the data back into dms.  Yeah it jumps around to different tools.

 

So in the background I am running things such as the part editor and the cell editor.  In 7.9.x this was not an issue as all my environment variables were set.  I figured this was going to be an easy fix, just run my script through the mgscript.exe terminal.  Well its not working for me.

 

I am using C#.  I do a simple test at first to verify the passed argument is indeed a valid library.  The library is definitely valid.  the code always fails on the first line in the try statement.  Running outside the mgscript environment I get told I'm missing a registered COM, inside the mgscript environment I get the message that it is not a valid library.  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here.

 

        /// <summary>

        /// Basic test to see if arguments passed in are valid.  Tests to see if they are actually a recognizeable library

        /// </summary>

        /// <param name="lib">The library cache to test</param>

        /// <returns>

        /// True: library check passed

        /// False: Library check failed

        /// </returns>

        public static bool IsitaLibrary(string lib)

        {

            try

            {

                PartsEditorDlg PedApp = new PartsEditorDlg();

                PartsDB PedDoc = PedApp.OpenDatabaseEx(lib, true);

                PedApp.CloseActiveDatabase();

                PedApp.Quit();

                PedDoc = null;

                PedApp = null;

            }

            catch

            {

                return false;

            }

            return true;

3D PCB viewer

We are using VX.1.1 and we don't have the 3D Layout option.

If I want to view my board in 3D, I can make an IDF file.

This IDF file will only show the PCB, the components (boxes) and holes in the board.

Is there a way, direct from Xpedition or with a 3rd party plug-in, to view all the items (components, traces, pad's, holes) on the board?

 

Wim.
