Hello,
Can anyone tell me how can i link existing symbol library with New line style.
I just created a new line style but the connector symbols are not visible in that Line Style, but connector symbols are visible when i change the line style.

Hi:
we found redundant wires generated while customer implement engineers changes in capital integrator, customers changed some options configuration and we thought that changes didn't affect these redundant wires.
1:customer found redundant wires as below, another wire generated after CWS and two wires with the same connectivity.
2:but we try to delete wires and process CWS again, only 4 wires generated, this is the result customer expected
The questions is why redundant wires generated in capital integrator, we are been anxious about how many these redundant wires generated in the whole integrator plane, we need find these wires and avoid this issues.

Like the Title says anyone knows why it is not possible to change the Pad entry Rule in the Library?
On every Design i have to deal with this Pad Entry rule more than once. Sometimes it seems to reset back and sometimes not.
Am i the only one having issues with that? How are you dealing with this?
Also i have no clue where the Default is defined if i press reset to Default, not all Pads reset to the same settings, as you can see some allow side entry and some not.
Is the Default entry somehow determined by the tool? Maybe depending on the position of the pad or the Pad Origin...
Maybe Automation is the only solution for this...

My PADS 9.5 quit working and the files were deleted. I'm trying to reinstall 9.5.
When it gets to the part where the MGC SDD Configurator is "Registering wg files..." i get the message box"C:\MentorGraphics\win32\sdd_register.exe" that says: "Cant Find C:\MentorGraphics\9.5PADS\SDD_HOME\common\win32\lib\CommandBarSvr75.dll" But that file exists in that directory. If I click ok it says it can't find another file, etc...
I am running Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
Any suggestions?
My IT dept wants to wipe my hard drive. I've told them no way, there are way to many programs I would need to reinstall / configure.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
Hello,
I used this tcl script on command line
calibredrv myfile.tcl
to merge 3 different gds files.
The output gds file, has been created with correct hierarchy but empty layout.
What is it wrong in my tcl scritp??
Many thanks
Ciao
Luciano

I've recently began scripting for dxdesigner with vbs script, both of which are relatively new to me. I need to write a script that generates an excel report from the variant manager.
This is not the BOM report, which I can do in vbscript easily, the one i need is when you right click on the variant document in the manger and select reports > Microsoft Excel. Does any one know how to access this functionality through a vbscript? ive gone through the automation references many times, if what im trying to do is even possible, any help what so ever would be appreciated.
Attached is a visual of the option I need to access from a script in the dxdesigner interface.
thank you for your time.
Dear Factory,
In many cases the requirement to add some kind of Note (Flag Note) is a Harness Drawings is almost mandatory.
I many cases the ability to add Special Characters is required: Such as:
±
I can copy and paste from MS Word into Add Text
Is it possible to add these special characters into the Add Text GUI?
This will really help use with maintianing our tool with drafting standards.
In addition:
It is a Requirement that a leader line be a part of a Bubble, BOM ID note.
Therefore our System with Bubble does not meet ASME Y14.41 and ASME Y14.100 drafting standards.
Best regards,
Rodney
Hello All,
We are playing with the 3D option and have a question.
1) Imagine you have a component hazard in 2D. You can accept it in the DRC window. Now you open a 3D view and do a 3D batch report: the previously accepted hazards show up again. Is there a way to accept 3D hazards, or is there an automatic way of propagating this kind of info from 2D into 3D?
2) Imagine you are working on a board and you have imported a second board as step for verification. When moving a component in 2D and you bump into a component of the additional board, in the 2D view there is no indication, in the 3D view the whole board lightens up to show an error, but you really don't know where exactly you have bumped. How do you set up the additional board to highlight you only the component it bumps into?
Thanks
Matija
Also, how does the splice diagram sort the wires from LEFT to RIGHT ?
Thanks,

Does VeSys support Windows 64-bit ?
When designing in P&R environments, standard cells and IP blocks are represented as LEF cells with abstract data in them. To run Calibre DRC or LVS on a GDS file, the DEF design must be translated to GDS and all of the LEF cells must be replaced with their GDS equivalent that contains the mask level data to be verified. I can think of a few ways to do this.
Specify multiple files in the LAYOUT PATH statement of the SVRF rules file
Use Calibre DESIGNrev *layout merge *API command
Use the new Calibre DESIGNrev layout filemerge disk-based merge
Merge within the P&R tool or *other *method.
I think each of these may have some advantages and disadvantages. How do you do this and why?
Currently the only way to edit a Connector or Splice is to double/right click on the table, sometimes these tables are not near the node they are attached to - in some cases the table could be on a seperate sheet.
It would be very useful to be able to double or right click on a node and have the option to edit any of the Connector/Splices that may be attached to the node.
When you need to add a link lead or flying lead to an existing harness it can be quite time consuming to do, you have to:
Place 2 nodes into the harness.
Attach 2 connectors to the new nodes.
Work out which wire pass through the bundle (using the Bundle Contents utility).
Relocate the wires to the new inline connector.
Add new wires from the new connector to the existing connector ensuring the wire properties macth the existing wires.
This proces is quite time consuming as you have to effectively duplicate every wire that passes through the inline, VeSys Design already has similar functionality in that an inline connector can be inserted into an existing wire.
Currently in VeSys you attach the part number for a clip, grommet, bracket, etc to the node, you are then prompted to position the graphic. As the majority of these components (90% or greater) are located at the origin of the node they are attached to it would make sense for VeSys to automatically locate the graphic at the centre of the Node. This is only a minor enhancement but it would improve drawing efficiency and avoid problems where users accidentally click the wrong location and then have to move the components.
Even though the components would be automatically inserted at the node the user would still be able to move them afterward if required to.
VeSys will automatically select cavity plugs for connectors that use Wire Seals, there are many connector ranges that do not use wire seals - they have an integral seal which is part of the connector (example of this is a Deutsch DT Series connector). It is possible to get VeSys to automatically select these types of plugs but you do have to setup dummy wire seals and then associate the plugs to these 'dummy' seals.
It would be much simpler and better if VeSys Components could store the blankin plugs for these types of connectors and for VeSys Harness to then be able to select them.
When working with components with large numbers of pins it can be time consuming to move the pins around. you have to either physically move the pin and change its display options (this can only be done when the pins to exchange are part of the same component) or edit each pin changing all of the properties such as Connector ID, Pin ID, Terminal Plating, Pin Function Name, etc.
It would be really helpful if you could select a pin and exchange it with another pin, functioning in the same way as the Swap Wires command works in VeSys Harness.
The langauge translation in VeSys Design requires you to know the translation code. It would be very useful if there was some way of 'browsing' the language translation file with a search tool for particular keywords rather than having to know the code.
A large proportion of customers ONLY use curved bundle segments, currently you have to change every bunlde that you insert to be curved because there is no default setting for this.
Wire Breaks have the sheet references to help you locate the other linked Wire Break, it would be great if VeSys Design could have similar Drawing Zone functionality to the feature implemented in VeSys Harness.
It would be very useful to have Automatic Wire Routing functionality in VeSys Design, this would improve drawing speed and general ease of use. A simple implementation of this functionality could be that you click the start and end pin/splice/wire and VeSys Design would orthogonoly route wires between these points.
