Hello, I have a DDR bus to simulate with LineSim (Hyperlynx)to resolve the signal integrity. however, LineSim can't simulate a bus, so I tried to select some...
Hi All, I'm using DxDesigner 2005.1 and I created a completely new database that I want to remap my schematics to but the problem I'm having is that my...
Hi Kirby, You can edit the viewdraw.ini and restart DxDesigner. Symbols are loaded by reference in 2005.x, there is no local symbol cache in 2005 like there is...
Kirby, I had to do this for many schematics when I took over the library and created a new one where the symbols were changed by myself to all comply with a...
Hi Rich, I just started investigating the project contents navigator window this morning to change components and your right it's not straight forward, for...
One thing that I have done before in 2005 is to remove the path entirely from each symbol reference. Notice the following line: I 6 dscrt:RES_FXD_006_XFR 1 725...
Kirby, When I switched from the old multi-year-multi-person generated mish-mosh library to the library I personally vetted and usually modified every single...
I can add some things I learned when we retranslated symbol libraries over time. In Rich Tanner's comment: One hint, if you have needed to alter the pin...
Hi John, Rich, Once you two pointed out how to edit the schematic I went to work converting a 20 page schematic which took me a little over a day between...
Kirby, Many of the highly productive methods I have learned by my own trial/error over the past 20 years of using ViewDraw (DxDesigner) would not be acceptable...
John,  One of the things I've done for my consistant standards library is to have the symbol's internal "P #" equal to the part's pin number whenever...
That sounds like a good approach. The only tricky part is pin numbers in a BGA or other such alpha-numeric pins, but as you say, you can use some consistent...
I have an attribute called cost for each part on our schematics. Is there a way that I could highlight a group of parts on a schematic page and have it tell...
If you use the short cut keys ctrl+alt+A you will bring up the attribute window Then press the space bar to activate your command window type "avi" and that...
I am not looking to make the attribute visible on the schematic. I am looking for a script or something else I can run that will return the total cost of all...
We've written a script that does something similar but looks at total pins, total nets, number of parts, and total area. To get the parts, pins, and area, we...
Hi Tony, Yes I do create a BOM for the complete design and then have the total cost added up and this works great. I am looking to be able to do it to just a...
How about this to get the total cost of the selected area of a schematic: Dim objComp Dim attr Dim intMissingCost Dim TotalCost, digitsAfterDecimal ...
All of that is in the help documents in the DxDesigner help menu. Look up the automation stuff. I have learnead a lot about how to do it, but I'll let you look...
I have an engineer who wants to graphically show a net between two points is wider. This way when someone looks at the schematic it will visually catch their...
EE2007.1 or PADS2007.1 EE2007.3 or PADS2007.4 the Line Width property on a net works well, Select the Net, and in the properties window adjust the line...
Hi Kevin, A script can handle events by calling Scripting.AttachEvents, and creating a subroutine or function with the correct name and arguments. Also, you...
Hi John, Thanks for all the help. This is very useful. -Kevin From: DxDesigner_Users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DxDesigner_Users@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Hi John, Where do you put this script to make it work and how would I point to it. My guess would be "tools/customize". Is it possible to put it in the company...
Hi Gary, Thanks but it turns out we are using PADS Flow 2007.1 which uses DxDesigner 2005.1 so I don't see the properties window that allows me to adjust the...
Put the file in a directory in your WDIR (your company standard location is fine), then load the script on startup using scripts.ini. John ... From:...
