not only one have this pb, today the documentation provide by Mentor is bad and when you asked this question by SR. Mentor don't now the answer. there are may...
Hitting no is fine, but I WANT all the GND and VDD pins to show up. I guess one would have to add all those individually, correct? Greg p.s. New to DxDesigner...
Hi Greg, Three solutions: 1) Put each pin on the symbol. 2) Make the SIGNAL attribute visible. 3) Put one pin per signal and for pin numbers put #=1,2,3 etc. ...
I'm new to this group and to DxDesigner. I would be interested in a list of any-and-all idiosyncracies of the Dx-to-Allegro flow, including back annotation,...
Hi Greg, From what I can tell, and confirmed by Mentor, there is no "spec" or datasheet for the DxDesigner to Allegro "product". So, basically, you don't know...
DxDesigner/Viewdraw has always had a strong integration into Allegro. Obviously there are limitations with constraints since there isn't a true constraint...
We have used this path for ~10 years with ZERO issues. The only trick is to setup your allegro.cfg file to pass the attributes that you need. The most...
I've used the DxDesigner <-> Allegro flow at several companies in the past. It works with some caveats. Here's a brief summery: Resistor packs: Want to show...
Hi Dan, I gauge what differences there are against the PADS interface. Cross probing isn't supported with Allegro, but is available with a third party utility...
Correct, cross probing isn't supported, but I have seen a scripted interface. The same goes for the geometry previewer. ________________________________ From:...
Hi Dan, Who have you heard that makes the cross probing and geometry previewer utilities? Just as a note, the Studio and Performance versions of Allegro Design...
Anybody know if the DxDesigner link between PADS Layout and DxD will update changed Reference Designators? I changed a few in DxD but can't seem to reflect...
Is there a way to run a parts list such that I have one reference designator per line? Even when I select "Unsorted" from the Sort Mode dialog, I still get a...
I don't think there is a way to do this. Mentor Support may have another answer. I just wrote a VBscript to do the same thing. You just have to go thru the...
There is a way to do this - It was posted here about a year ago... I can't remember off the top of my head though... ... From: DxDesigner_Users@yahoogroups.com...
Here it is... I think Dan Fernsebner wrote this... To partlist one item per line, find the section of the partlist.ini file that looks like this: REFERENCE...
Nice! Thanks, Jason ... From: DxDesigner_Users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DxDesigner_Users@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Iestyn Guest Sent: Friday, February 03,...
Here is VB script form that can be ran from within Dxd and can accomplish the same. It will generate XL BOM file. ________________________________ From:...
Jason, ... - on the "Modes/Definitions" tab uncheck "REFERENCE" and memorize Column Start and Column Width - on the "Attribute Fields" tab add REFDES by...
Thanks very much for the breakdown. One of the groups at Broadcom used Viewdraw exclusively with no problems whatsoever, however now with the Mentor...
I commonly add all constraints at board level via Allegro's ocnstraint manager and then back-annotate into (previously) Orcad CIS. Our engineering team has a...
Yes, I wasn't keen on Concepts design reuse. Allegro's CM works just fine with Orcad too. I've already glanced at the allegro15.cns, and still have to ...
Thanks Mike, I may call on you if I have any questions re: the allegro.cfg file. Thanks for the heads up (and reminder) re: the device files. This was always...
Orcad CIS also handles Allegro's (Expert) CM just fine. I can survive (sort of) without cross-probing (boo hoo), but back-annotation and constraint management...
HI i am new one to pads designing, i need .stg file to auto route but still now i didn't know how itcan be created or produced .So you please tell about .stg...
Greg, TechNote mg55290 tells how to Backannote from Allegro if you need that. Technote mg23666 talks about getting constraints to ePlanner, but this works for...
Just curious if anyone has tried this... Is it possible to export your dxdatabook (in access format) to a www server and use it from there on your local pc? ...
Hi, The warning about the hetero is because you haven't placed all the pieces used in the hetero into the schematic yet. once all the pieces are placed that...
