Keith, I am using the same tools as you. I have found the best cure for this is to use the same number of pins on the schematic as in the layout. Ralph Longton...
You can use the Signal attribute on the symbol. It should be placed at the symbol level and then can be changed at the schematic level. Example would be...
Keith, You could add the SIGNAL attribute to your DxDesigner logic symbol. You can assign a generic net name to those pins and edit the value in the schematic...
Sure that works for a particular instance.But to me this can be a liability. If you use the symbol in another schematic you will need to assign a new value to...
I agree if you do not pay attention you can have a big problem when the board comes back wrong. The alternative is to have all the pins on the symbol. Regards,...
You are correct. You need to be diligent when using this attribute, but it is a good way to assign nets to unseen pins. You can use as many instances of the...
One way around the issue is to make the attribute value visible on the symbol ... -- *Jason Stubbs* /*Efficient Channel Coding*/ 4830 East 49th Street Cuyahoga...
Is it possible to integrate DxDesigner (especially DxDataBook) with MatrixOne? We are working to integrate MatrixOne into our workflow ASAP, and I'm unfamiliar...
We have been using DesignSync with DxDesigner for many years. Mike Chombeau Validation Hardware Oregon 503-264-1808 ________________________________ From:...
MatrixOne has Mentor modules (You'd have to buy them of course). If it's just a case of storing mile-stone project data and reading in parts list, you could...
Hi gang, I am recently starting to use the DxDesigner tools after not having used them since 2000. Much has changed, but much remains the same. Here are my...
Hi, I'd like to setup rules in DxDesigner for specific trace width and gap for each pcb layer for a class of differential nets in PADS. Has anyone done this?...
Before you bring in a new netlist, make sure that you back annotate the rules from PADS to DxD. The rules should then show up on the schematic. Then,...
Hi, Along these same lines. I would like to set attributes for differential pairs... Haven't used this feature in years and it seems Mentor has changed it...
Dear all, The default file extention for creating part list is lst. Is it possible to change it? We are using Openoffice for BOM list so we are importing from...
Hi , I am wondering if there is an eval version available for DxDesigner/ DxDatabook . I am not seeing any demo download at Mentor website for DxDesigner. Do...
Greetings, Is there any way I can push new (or updated) component attributes from DxDataBook into existing components placed on a schematic? TIA, Jason Roetz ...
You could go through the schematic and update each part by hand but that could get pretty tedious. It can be done but it's not that easy. You'd have to write...
Why not use Live (per-sheet) or Hierarchical Verification? Hierarchical Verification offers an "Update all unique matches" and "Update all unique matches with...
Yes use the Hierarchical Verification, Update all Unique matches. Check the attributes in the library you want to match to, and then check the attributes you...
I have not been able to get the EDIF export function in DXDesigner to work. (DXDesigner 2005) The EDIF Interfaces program halts and does not return an error...
I got the comp_file and nets_file from the layout group for back annotation, but the software complains can't find the inst_file. Do I need the inst_file and...
Does anyone know how to make the allegro config file recognize the DEVICE attribute when it is not native to the symbol? i.e. the attribute is added in...
Mike, Do you mean getting the component level information into the device file? If that's the case you want add, if it's missing, or modify the following line...
Is there any chance Mentor is going to add a Macro capability? Long, long, ago they used to have this and it was really great for getting repetative things...
I remember Macros :-) Long ago one of the first CAD systems I used - Vanguard series from CASE Technology I think - had an incredibly useful Macro capability....
Thomas, Contact you Mentor AE or the Support page. There is a way to do Macros by setting an Environment Variable, it is crude, but the debug teams use at...
Hi, all, I have a question regarding to hierachy design. As I know, from Library Services in Library Manager, the parts and symbols can be imported from other...
