Hi, Does anybody know the way to merge the existing old hierarchical design into the new design as a part? What I wish to do, is to open FUB named CPU in my...
I have a DxDesigner/Viewdraw design that I'd like to simulate in verilog. I can not compile the design because a lot of models (for all components in design)...
Hi, To able to copy FUB's I believe you only have to remove an attribute (I believe it was called SYMTYPE??). After that it behaves like a normal symbol. ...
Thanks Stephan, I know how to copy FUB. You are absolutely right. But the problem is to copy the entire hierarchical design (few FUB's and underlying...
I agree it isn't easy using DxDesigner, but with the Operating System copy tools, (windows explorer) and a text editor it is not that difficult. First, I copy...
Why not just use OATS and forget re-naming the schematics? Just replicate the block & hierarchy. Assuming Design A resides in Project A and Design B resides...
Hello, I have been given the task to create a microprocessor symbol with close to 600 pins. This is the first time I am attempting something of this scale and...
We want to add a table to the last sheet in our design schematics that shows the power pins and spare gates. Hopefully there is a way to extract this...
Hi what's a hetero? is there something on the web to tell me how to use it? ________________________________ From: Iestyn Guest [mailto:iguest@...] ...
I am writing scripts that need to parse schematics and it would help to know what different entries in schematic files are for. A lot of them I can figure out...
Tony what you want is a type 3 hetero all you need to do is create the symbols as per usual lets say that you have 100 pins on each of 6 symbols the symbols...
Also, keep in mind, EVERY symbol (for some reason yet to be explained) MUST have ALL the same DEVICE, HETERO, LEVEL, PARTS, PKG_TYPE, REFDES and SIGNAL ...
They must have all the same attributes with the same values, not just the list you gave. If you add your own custom attributes they must match on every symbol...
Hi Mike, ... list you gave. ... MUST have ALL ... attributes. ... also. My experience is different. I have "custom" attributes on only one of the HETERO...
Hi All, is anyone else getting this warning when saving a schematic. I'm getting these for the "remote end" of labeled net stubs where there definitely is no...
I'm not sure about PARTS. In my view PARTS can be different on different symbols in HETERO. You can have PARTS=1 on the first one and PARTS=2 on the second...
Hi geradoru, You are right, PARTS may be different for some HETERO type 3 symbol(s). But, they all still must have a PARTS attribute. As you point out, the ...
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum to ask, but does anybody have any experience/lessons learned in converting Protel (DXP or 99) pcb files to...
Michael, 1. step: reading Protel via ACCEL_ASCII format works good. 2. step: what version of Pads ? ther are so many versions; and the Traces section will not...
Hi, Allegro 15 reads in PADS .asc files, and DxDesigner comes with the PADS output. Does anyone use this method to get their netlist into Allegro, instead of...
Hi Austin, The .asc read-in in Allegro is to translated an ascii version of Pads .pcb file into Allegro formatted pcb format. To export the Allegro formatted...
Hi Varun, Hum. Are you sure? The output from the DxDesigner=>PADS interface IS a .asc file (and a .p file). I would try to read it into Allegro, but I don't...
What are the order of events taken to create a default class of rules that are read into PADS and that update the .cns file? Gregory Denno CAD\Documentation...
Gregory, ... being a novice at this myself, I'll try to put my vague knowledge into words. (knowledge, I got through the help of Austin, a list member) Open...
Mentor Graphics has released a translator called “Protel PCB Translator” which is included in PADS 2004 Suite and which probably may be freely downloadable...
Does anyone know the answer to this one. I was able to set up my design rules in dxdesigner and import them by my ascii file into PADS. Once I do this import...
